“My main objection to all the advances in “communication” technology is that people are losing the ability to actually communicate. And even worse: THINK”
___________________________________________
I have thought the same thing.
Internet communications certainly changed my life in a far
more radical way then it has for most everyone else.
Instead of a divorce, then hopping around the world, as I am now, I would probably be back on my Tennessee farm, sitting on the porch, sipping wine, overlooking my fields of cotton, or talking with other people around the world on my ham radio.
If it helps. I am a farmboy in Idaho, sipping from your provenance, talking to someone a world away. But yet not that, quite. Just talking to a FRiend.
