We are allowing ourselves to be enslaved by the cell and computer screen. There are efforts to get computer screens in the hands of little kids all over the world thinking it will somehow make a better planet. Claiming a child without a screen in his hands, is a deprived child.

Our streets are turning into bloodbaths far more dangerous than trying to avoid a few drunk drivers now and then.

I had a full life where I remember enjoying a walk in the woods and at night lying down looking up at the stars. Something kids today have no experience of.

But as I get old I too, am caught up my life becoming the computer screen far more than chatting with friends. I can stop by the bar on the corner for a drink but the screen is always on and usually on something I am not interested in. So now mostly I stay by my computer screen now and then drinking too much to relax when I get too worked up about what I am looking at or trying to type in. Over the years and centuries a few people said “no” some getting too fanatical. But isn’t those trying to raise hundreds and thousands of dollars maybe more to give screens to hungry kids to live in a world their parents don’t understand, also being too fanatical. A few block from me in real space, not computer space, lived one of the no sayers, John Africa or Vincent Leaphart, but even his admirers are beginning to forget some of what he was about.

Years back there were anarchists conferences that the one’s posted above at the Rotunda, back then some of the participant’s worried about too much technology, but that was in the past.

I disagree with “dogwoods” posting that I am responding to, that someone rushing a stop sign because they are in a hurry, not because they are on the cell, or mad at me for taking too long to deal with the cashier in a line, is part of the problem.
