Apparently looking at technology for homework is the same as doing it for fun. You'll be left behind in this world if you aren't raised around technology now.
It's a fine line between being tech savy and tech-induced ignorant. You can't gain much of world view when your entire world is viewed through a screen.
And this whole business of people constantly clicking on their gadgets is extremely frightening to me.

This shit is a fucked-up, mass compulsion. We need to purge these goddamn devices from our society.
Nice little EMP

But not really. I don't get angry at booze when I see a liquored-up bum on the streets. It's not the technology, it's the compulsive behaviour displayed by its users. And there's nothing that makes my day quite like putting someone who's texting and walking right on their ass with a good shoulder check.

I just stop, brace myself and wait for the collision.
