Since I stepped away from this blog, questioning the value of the time I was spending with this metal box, I've come across several reasons to continue, but within limits. Reading this piece and watching the fascinating short film at the bottom of the page on the "social media revolution" reminded me, however, of the value of technology, too.
Of course, I still get angry with its too-quick obsolescence, with people who spend more time staring at screens (small and large) than they do at nature or their loved ones----and I don't want to be one of those, but I cannot deny that I enjoy the connections I've found via technology, as long as my more immediate and personal life with those around me here does not suffer.
Because one thing so easily leads to another. . .
