Just the opposite.  We were sold slavery.  They didn't mention that people would insist that we carry the electronic ball and chain, that our jobs *required* it. Be wary of new "freedoms".  True Freedom has always existed, slavery was invited by man. All this technological junk was sold as “freedom” : never miss this or never miss that.

We live in a world where everything is instant, so when we have to wait for something we become impatient and upset. Many classify it as adult ADD when really it's impatience. When a marriage doesn't work out right away we get and instant divorce and move on for something that is less work and will work faster and easier and when that becomes hard we do the same thing. I have recently gone from a smart phone back to the original v3m razer, and I plan to never own a smart phone again. Next time you go out leave your phone at home and leave your spouses phone there too and interact with each other. If they don't like the idea, ask to see it and don't give it back until the end of the night. I think this largely contributes to many of today’s problems.

Phone to TV to Pad to Pod to Computer... mix and repeat ad infinitum. We may think we're being sociable but in fact we're alone. And all this of course has us spying on ourselves on behalf of our governments and any corporation who wants to know. Our every move, opinion, purchase, transaction electronically traceable all your life. I'm sorry but if you use facebook you're not clever. Not for the security reason, just 'cause you're not clever. The technology is great and all that, but for every one fruitful use of a technology, the idiot human manages to come up with 99,999 well, idiot uses for it. (But hey, the porn's great). I don't think younger kids should have phones or computers of their own. For lots of very good reasons. But kids get whatever they want now.. so we'll reap what we sow..

Now if I can just find my old pocket protector and my worn out 6 inch pocket size slide rule.  Regards, The Geezer mechanical engineer, Texas Tech U, 1973 and US Navy vet, 1966-1969.  p.s.: for those that are not "ripe", COE - Corps Of Engineers (US Army).
