I got my first computer when I was thirty and my first cell phone when I was forty. I do not have a facebook account nor do i twitter.
If i had possessed a computer when i was a kid, my life would have been totally different. I was an outdoors guy and television had little to offer. My parents were cool and interesting, but seemed to always be working. (supporting 6 kids.)
I think that the smart phones, even cell phones, have created a 'new etiquette'. People have allowed technology to isolate them. For the 'rude' people that answer their phone while in conversation with me, it is apparently 'not rude' in the smartphone circles.
This forum is a distraction and not my life. i like talking to people, not machines. Technology is good, but I am not ready to give up people.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
