Electronic borg implan.... err... electronic devices we all carry.

I've got one and so do you: our electronic media companions! The whole world is at our finger tips, or so we think. But why the heck do we need everything so damn convenient? are we really that lazy? Excuse my language please, but it really seems that our society is far to indulgent in all this new technology. What are the consequences? Is society composed of rampant technophiles... or am I just a technophobe? The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle (as most answers do). This blog is dedicated to my observations of people and their relationships to their personal hand held devices, where these personal relationships are leading us and our society in general. Feel free to follow along and rip my opinions apart if you feel the need; I love a good argument, or academic debate I should say... something of which cannot be adequately captured in a T9 text message.

On a side note: as I'm typing this, the person directly opposite me on the library computer desk is currently "plugged in" to three different computer devices... his Ipod, palm pilot, and the computer he is working on... and he's avoiding my eye contact at all costs.
