To his unpopular commentary on the impacts of computing and electronics on daily life, I'm agreeing with him more and more as I get older. I don't think it's early-onset curmudgeoness, although I'm not sure I'd know if it was.
Still, I grew up at a time just before computers were a normal part of everyone's life, and now they dominate my time and attention and other resources in a way I don't think anyone could have imagined circa 1985. We see enough articles on this site about the consequences of ...excessive computing (?) on sleep and mental health and physical health, we should be able to agree generally that there are some negative effects, as with all technologies. From there, it's only another step to start to find some common ground with Mr. Stoll's views on it, and I hope he sees that happen.
