What is it about technology that "makes us" want to be plugged in all the time? Why do we feel the need to be plugged in?
We live in a "wired" age now. We're always plugged in. There is no escaping technology.
Well, you could move to a mountain and become a hermit. However, this is not without some drawbacks.
But just because we are wired, does it really mean we need to be?
I remember my childhood days when my family would discuss the day while having dinner. This was the typical nuclear family.
This does not happen anymore. The nuclear family has super-novaed.
These days, around the dinner table, kids are poking with their iDevices and so are the parents.
What went wrong?
People laughed at the phrase: the geeks shall inherit the earth. Wo, who's laughing now? It's Revenge of the Nerds folks. People poked fun at the nerds, now they're getting revenge :)
It is time we learned to live *with* technology, not live for technology.
