Technology
I can remember a time when the most important form of communicating was via a two way radio. Remember when it was very important to be on the highway with just you and a two way radio. "Hey good buddy, you got your ears on?" Now with the new technology a new form of communication has been created. THE BLOG. My age changes, the old is no longer new, things come and go. In order to survive I must change along with the time.
To add on to the technology theme, just take note on our dependence on cars. I am not suggesting that they are not useful (they are. But if you take a minute to think about it, you'll realize that people are truely dependent upon their cars at a psych level.
ReplyDeleteJust ponder on these quotes:
"We see less of each other than any other society in history. We tool around in our little bubbles called cars, sit in cublicles and look at screens ... always sitting and looking at the world through painted glass" - Jason Lanier
"In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving you boringly in a frame." - Robert Pirsig
Could you imagine how our society would be if we had to get out of our cars? We all would be forced to socialize!
