...but i guess it makes sense - people walk around with those ipod wires hanging out of their ears, depriving themselves of the sounds of their environment as well as the opportunity for free thought. i guess they would rely on utube for the news of the world
Man, I sure agree with you here. Went on a motorcycle ride with a few other guys recently. Gawd, they had their I-pods, blackberries, cranberries, or whatever other kind of berries people have these days, one guy even had an actual computer with a wifi receiver that had a antenna about a foot tall! Every time we stopped for a break or for the night they had to check their e-mail, surf the web, play with their GPS units to figure out which way to go next, etc, etc, etc. (And they spent most of their time and energy keeping all this stuff working properly.) All I had with me was a pen and notepad in case I wanted to write down something I might forget otherwise (and never found a need to even use that). But while they missed everything else so they could mess with this crap, I found a bird that would sit on my hand and eat nuts, I had prairie dogs come up and sit on my knees for food, watched shooting stars at night, and actually had real conversations with real and interesting people who were not in "cyber space". What a novel way to spend my time, eh?
