He's watching the sacred cows of his childhood, which he was told carried all great human wisdom, be set aside or torn apart and replaced with hyperactive pocketwatches, which he is now being told contain just *oodles* more wisdom and entertainment and all-around goodness than those sedate, austere, respectable leather tomes.
And he can't quite believe it, and there's just so much *drek* online that he can't accept that anything that feeds from it can rival those icons of purity of knowledge.
He's also misinformed on a number of aspects, and he doesn't want to get closer to the demons to figure out what those are.
And... heh. He's local to me. I think I'll try to find out when/where he's next doing a public appearance. Because I think he's one of those people who can't believe the people he talks to online are *real*; he doesn't quite get that these are real conversations.
