So we sit in a cave and wait to die?

Do you disagree with all of these assertions? I found the article to be refreshing. Is there some reason why we need to have tv screens in a restaurant? What is wrong with conversation? It can be challenging to grab someone's attention in conversation when their eyes are focused on a tv screen. As for the the cell phone's ability to "record the moment", what actually happens to those memories? Are these preserved for future viewing or relegated to a moment in time that has just passed, and we move on?

The author has addressed your question with the final statement: So … what could possibly be good about all this? Tune in tomorrow … Please remind me to post the sequel.

I agree and I'll also throw in restaurants/bars with music so loud you can't hear the person sitting next to you.

For the most part I do disagree. Too bad you never answered my question.

This is one of those damned if you do, damned if you don’t situations. Yes, the internet has changed our lives in very dramatic ways. Some changes have been good. Some have been bad. In my case, my life was totally changed because of the internet and the World Wide Web. (emphasis on world wide)
