Talking about being "plugged-in", I think technology to be a crutch to most people. For example, when I go on a road trip, I use a road atlas. Some people use a Garmin. Does the Garmin lady know more than the atlas? NO. But with most things, it's all in the operator, or person involved. Take time to actually look at the map, figure out your route and drive. Yeah it takes a little thought and work, but isn't that what our brains are for?
Here's another piece of technology I do not like. iPhones. Ever been around someone with an iPhone? You might as well not even be in the room. There have been countless times when I've been talking to someone and seen the reflection of their screen in the window and seen Tetris or some other game being played. Sorry I'm so boring you felt like distracting yourself with a computer game. Being bored isn't a bad thing. Being entertained every minute of every day is. I will argue that with anyone, anytime, so bring it on.

Totally agree with you about the iphone comment.
