step 299: don’t become an i-phoney (how Holden Caulfield of me) but I like the discussion about our increasingly technology-dependent lifestyles and how it’s moving us backwards in a sense rather than forwards. notable lines:
- “it used to be difficult to connect when friends formed cliques but now it’s even more difficult to connect now that clicks form friends.”
- “I face facebook more than books face me”
- “from the garden of eden to the branches of macintosh, apple picking has always come at a great cost.
- “ipod, imac, iphone, ichat, I can do all of these things without making eye contact.”
these four especially need to be addressed in my life. going to disconnect a little bit. bet it feels nice on the soul.
