Tivo is now compatible with iPods and PSPs, so you can take recorded television and films anywhere. Information capability is going on overload. We already live in a world where teenagers can diss one friend via text messenger and instant messenger simultaneously talking to that “friend” on the phone or personally in the school yard. Luddites may have a point.

Inquiring minds want to know.

But then I realized that keven de bruxxels had defended Ludditism far better than I ever could. Yes, communicating with the public has gotten far too easy.
