In theory, technology enables us to be more powerful than any generation before us. But is also comes with a lot of distractions (particularly the Internet).
How does one optimally deal with that? Embrace it? Enjoy it? Trammel it? Pull the plug?

Having the world "at your fingertips" (literally) is absolutely amazing! There is a wealth of information out there and it is endless. However, there are severe social ramifications. Personal face-to-face interactions are on the decline. How do I deal with this?? I try to find a balance. So far, technology is tipping the scale. Unfortunate, but true.

That's a tough one! It's impossible to pull the plug now. I wish it wasn't.
I wish I was born in a generation without all this technology. I mean I LOVE it because I know it exists, but if it didn't exist it wouldn't matter because I wouldn't know about it...
sooo i would be fine without it....

You can enjoy it certainly, but take time each day to spend by yourself or with loved ones. Turn off the computer AND THE CELL PHONE. You can meditate by yourself or speak with a real human being.

We are in danger of becoming a rapidly destructive spiral in to hell.
Technology increases by itself.
Perhaps we should pull the plug.

It is bad for the society, it has changed aot of face to face interaction, but after having it we couldn't go on without it.

Ear plugs work for me, and maybe a blindfold.
