- musage 9y agoNone of those are essential either. Where you have a choice you have responsibility. If people prefer supposed convenience, let them state it as such, but let nobody claim they have no choice.
- bogomipz 9y agoYou comment is ambiguous to the point of being meaningless. As such I would say your own comment says nothing. The three things you listed are pure technology. Staying in touch with people you care about and making time to do so is not an inherently technological undertaking.
- jimmy1 9y agoThis says a lot. I miss the movies sometimes (just wish they were a bit cheaper) and binge watching is horrible for your health (not just physically but mentally as well -- teaches you how to be an addict). Amazon, while convenient, has destroyed an entire economic subsystem in it's wake and destroyed a way of life that was more communal and social to one that is more isolated and reclusive. Finally, people more and more these days are trying to find ways to detach from their smartphones (I think your comment wrongly assumes Apple "created" the smartphone -- they did not)
