And I think people who wear headphones in public are being somewhat rude. Guess that makes me a luddite. And yes, some modes of human interaction are surely worth less than others. Tweeting 140 characters can't compare with sitting down with someone having a true heart to heart conversation. The former is replacing the latter. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4034744 http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4034744 That isn't to say some forms of communication are entirely bad or shouldn't be used - the obsession and taking over real life is the problem. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4034744 http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4034744 I don't feel this form of communication-posting here-is even in the same relm as having the same discussion with someone face to face. That's not to say nobody should post on hacker news, just that it should have a healthy balance. Either way it matters not if I share my opinion with Ray Bradbury or not. I was pointing out the author missed a lot of the themes in the book and probably didn't even read it - just heard it was a novel about book burning.
