Ray Bradbury was a science fiction writer, but he was not in love with technology. In fact, he was one of the few people who could look ahead at the dehumanizing aspects of technology.

He sure had it right in The Murderer. I think of that story every time my wife has to talk to everyone she knows as we're driving/shopping/eating/whatever. If I didn't want to use my cell phone in emergencies, I'd put it down the disposal. As it is now, I rarely answer the home phone.
