Not an entirely bad read. There were some valid points about the growth of technology and how young'uns are completely immersed in the world of technology. Watkins covers various aspects of technology, and one part that I found interesting was the advent of social networking sites with college students. Particularly, many students found themselves completely wasting their time with technology, and then later realizing that they could have done other things with their time. No surprise, right? However, there's one thing about this observation that is lacking, and that's the group of people who are completely opposite from this first group. Many people do in fact find Facebook and Myspace and FaceSpace to be completely time consuming, and so they ignore it altogether. But wait...that's not all. They're completely enamored by the Bohemian lifestyle that they ignore all forms of technology that they become completely unreachable. Not to say that this is not as commendable desire, but there is a fine line that people should watch out for (unless, of course, they really want to be a recluse and cut off all contact with friends and family and the IRS). Technology has its merits, but it also has its pitfalls. The same with alcohol. And with many other things in life. It's how we choose to use these things in life. Do we want a balance? Or do we want to succumb to our desires and play WoW nonstop until we keel over from exhaustion? Take a read if you're interested in learning a few facts, but I can't say there are any great revelations from this piece. Enjoy it as you will.
