Often I am asked why I don’t carry a smart phone. Sadly, I am often asked this by people my own age not just students. Indeed, while I have seven working computers in my home, have maintained a home network since far before most people have heard of them, own my own website, and built, repaired and programmed computers, it may seem odd. However I recently stumbled across the research of this M.I.T. professor and I think she expresses my concern better than I could.

I concur with her views. They seem to line up very well with what I see in today’s world. Hopefully, it will at least provide food for thought, or better yet, conversation. Just the face-to-face kind please.
