> Technology babies us all the time. Technology is a symptom; not the disease. We wallow in narcissism and convenience because of the relatively enormous wealth we, and our country in general, enjoy. Being able to buy just about anything that we want (at least some version of it), and being able to insulate ourselves in a tiny bubble of like minded people and thought has infantilized us. Technology -- enabled by the wealth of the Western world -- has enabled it, but wealth is at the core. We can AFFORD to be babies. So we are. Boy, howdy! We are.
