And on my deathbed do I want to say, I sipped mightily of Metafilter, and saw many video clips that made fun of Rosie O'Donnell, and I am richer for it? Or should I try to make contact with the culture that existed before 1992?
I think those who work most closely with technology fear its domination of their lives the most. Even for someone like me, who sits in front of a computer all day and working with data of all things, the threat of my whole life being whittled down to nothing more than gadgets is just not something I worry about. Technology is great for a few, very handy tasks but let's not forget that it's not a panacea for everything one must do in life. For example, Web 2.0 does not yet change diapers or remove fish smell from my kitchen.
