I'm not sure that it's the technology itsself, but the "numb stance of the technological idiot" (to use a phrase from class).

I think that the problem you're writing about here is that technology in America is coupled with materialism and greed. We let ourselves be marketed into believing we need something that we don't and thus the lines between practicality, necessity and desire get blurry.</p>blorgeMon, 27 Jun 2005 08:38:24 -0000http://www.jesusmanifesto.com/2005/06/27/an-open-post-to-my-fellow-techno-elites/#comment-1220055<p>I've been away from blogreading for a while, and I come back to this!
