That really is great – a very smart commentary on the effects of technology. Our ’social’ web is doing anything but improving our ability to interact in society.
We have become linguistically lazy, a nation reliant on electronic devices to communicate for us, and when we do speak (or write) it’s usually only a few words, if that.
From the time I bought my first computer and discovered Web-speak (LOL, BRB, TTFN, etc.) to walking through grocery aisles and seeing people with cell phones plastered to their faces as if they were born with the dang things attached there. It’s quite unnerving, really.
I used to joke that if I met someone I couldn’t say hello because I forgot to bring my keyboard. It isn’t so funny anymore.
great cover!technology is all around us ; )
