No, I don't see a gadget apocalypse. Quite the contrary. Not only are Millennials born with a smartphone in one hand, but their helicopter moms have already set them up on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The Millennials will go into withdrawal if they are not constantly connected. Even my generation, the Boomers, have embraced gadgets and would no longer function properly without them. Yep, we grew up learning to work calculus on slide-rulers before the transistor made it possible to have a pocket-able, affordable scientific calculator, we had rotary dial phones, B&W TVs with 13" screens, Encyclopedia Britannica, Websters Dictionary, Atlas Maps, the guy on the street corner to ask travel directions from, snail mail, teletype for delayed news from around the globe, newspapers, printed magazines, Sears and Roebucks, and for us networking meant getting our lazy butts off of the couch and going out into the real world to visit people in person. Nevertheless, we are almost as dependent on gadgets as the Millennials. Even the few of our parents' generation who are still alive have embraced gadgets. Gadgets are not going away, if anything they will manage to become part of our evolution as we morph into an even more horrible species than we are now.
