Do we even know where the technological line is anymore to toe it? If the rest of the world slips head long down the rabbit hole, will we drag Old Order peoples down with us, or leave them looking down on our foolish ways?

Have you had a surprise visitor recently? Probably not, they called you before they showed up. Amish recieve surprise visitors.....all of the time.

Tiffany, I was talking with theater professor Denise Pullen... she said that cell phones are the great plot-destroyers in modern drama, since it's much harder to arrange dramatic entrances or build a whole story around a crucial bit of missing information.

Jessie, Marshall McLuhan -- the English professor who coined the term "Global Village" -- argued that technology drives us closer together. Of course, some villages are horrible places to live, but that may be beside the point!

Today I was offered to be paid by an elderly couple to help them learn how to do "simple tasks on their new computer." I have to admit I was slightly itimidated. Why?
