Read this and Postman

Read this book and any book by Postman. IT's quick read, a little repetitive, but you'll learn a lot just from the stories he tells. I think he is exaggerating the effects of all this technology a little bit, but his points are valid. Comments about people thinking they are "gods" over nature or cyring about the death of their virtual reality fish; this is a major heads up. He comments about teople who aren't enjoying nature anymore by choice and who are plugged in to the net for days at a time.
