That book talked in part, of how technology keeps changing and advancing and overwhelms some people.

There was a fantastic show back in the late 1970s called "Connections", which talked about the "Technology Trap", and how things can suddenly be thrown into chaos if a piece of technology we rely suddenly becomes unavailable, because people won't know how to cope. And I believe inevitably the day will come when the Technology Trap will close in on us.

Ah, James Burke, the great leisure suit of knowledge.

The Connections and The Day the Universe Changed series are available on Youtube.

Now I have to go back and watch them again.

I'm ready and trying to teach my kids to be also.

One of my favorite series of all time. The only other I can think of off the top of my head is Victory at Sea"

Connections

James Burke. He was fantastic. I loved the follow up series he did called "The Day The Universe Changed".
