blast from the past
I agree with the general idea of the thread. I do feel like I am crutched to technology. I always feel anxious if I am not "doing" something at all times. While waiting/sitting I need my ipod and even while doing that I am either reading or playing a game of sorts. Then i wonder why my attentions span is amazingly low.
This environment does not promote intelligent thought. I have tried to hold conversations with my sister's friends (teens) and they have absolutely nothing to talk about aside ( oddly enough) the latest technology. There have been few revolutionary inventors of the likes of Ben Franklin.
I do admit that technology has helped us a lot in getting things done, but along with it also came additional things that need to be done (log on here, reply there, enter that data, keep up with that blog, read that paper...ect.)
Joe Rogan put this idea in a funny aspect...
