The spout about technology couldn't be said better. People looking at their iPods and other devices in a hypnotized state. Cell phone noise in every public area that disturbs the peace. People talking without listening with the movement of the thumbs. People are becoming robots without emotions. Facebook is replacing the meaning of true relationships established for thousands of years. Where are we going with these instruments that do little to improve the "real" quality of life? Is this the way it is? Has the human situation been replaced by George Orwell's 1984?
