a thought on recent tech gadgets
So with all the news coverage of the new gaming systems coming out and all the new fangled tekmology coming out, I wondered if we were headed in a productive direction. Do we need all this crap? Will it help us as a whole or just create more broken plastic doodads heaped in piles and then plowed under the dirt? Does it matter if your phone flips or slides open? Will more connectivity result in more productivity or even a higher standard of living? On both a societal and personal level shouldn't we stop every once in a while and take stock of what we've done both good and bad... or am I just a month too early for this kind of talk? Should we just put on the blinders and continue to demand new, faster, lighter, EVERYTHING and hope some good stuff comes down the line?
The reflection usually doesn't begin until people wake up after Thanksgiving.
"Is it right to lead people away from the real world -- even if they were only spectators of it -- into a virtual world where they're participating, but where nothing is real?"
i'm not sure of the author of the above quote, but I liked it.
