Actually, just the opposite.
However, the expectations of instantaneous gratification on the Internet in the information age is a real issue. We have gotten ahead of ourselves in many ways.

I don't know is it very social to be in constant touch with your friends via electronic devices. Is this very social? I cannot use voice, I cannot use my body language, I can't properly show emotions, some fucking
doesn't do it, and I cannot feel the presence of another human being. This is maybe 1/4 of social from real face to face social interaction. So if I switch my face to face time to device to device time, I am actually only 1/4 social from what I used to be.

back in the day if the phone was busy I had to hop in my car and drive ten miles to see if my buddy was even home. Then if he wasn't because he was probably on the way to my house you are fucked LOL.
So toss your phones in the trash and go back to doing it that way.Our site is coming soon. It will be one of the best ever! I know so. Brian and PennyComment

There's a fine line between checking a message and being at a party not in the moment. Those who are in touch with themselves and reality will know how to make a smartphone help them and not make them anti-social. It's like a tool.Comment

That's what's changing right now, people are no longer living in the moment. We are replacing our own personal experiences by recording those moments and uploading those experiences to the internet instead.
We're just being programmed to interact through technology so every piece of data in our lives is recorded. Google Glass and VR is coming very soon, which is the next step.
You're quite right that more intelligent people will use technology differently but those left in that minority are going to become increasingly frustrated by the world we'll be living in.Comment

This why we have GFY!Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about thatComment

When we went out for a meal on Sunday, the dude at the table across from us took a pic of his food, then checked his fone again and again and told his wife/gf how many likes etc he was getting. This kept him amused while actually eating his fucking meal.
Incredible...Comment

I've been guilty of that, but for beer!
I don't care how many likes I get and it's usually my girl that is having fun with that. She's been on a selfie thing lately.
Rather go out with friends and just have a good conversation.Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff.

Something baddog was doing years before it was considered cool
I only do it when I have a good background, like I have one with the great wall of china behind me, one with the forbidden city behind me. Then I can see it. My girl just loves to have pictures of the two us doing things.
We get out a lot, it's rare we stay at home on the weekends, it's too easy to just hop on the Harley and cruise up the coast or go to a motorcycle event or gathering.Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff.

Yup. Completely different scenario to the people taking "selfies" when they aren't actually doing anything or out anywhere. At least anywhere of interest anyway...Comment

I think watching older people trying to figure out how to take pictures with their phone is funnier.
I get bored and there's no laptop, I play Clash of clans on my phone. I like strategy games.
The clan I'm in is called GFY, LOLCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff.

Googles motivation and intention for that hardware is pretty clear. If Glass becomes as common place as smart phones, which given time is not inconceivable at all, when you considering how smartphones get used today, Glass is going to be a nightmare.Comment

I guess you didn't actually read that page
"n conclusion, QI believes that Albert Einstein did not write or say any of the three variant quotations. Individuals who were aggravated by the behavior patterns of cell phone users probably facilitated the construction, evolution, and dissemination of this meme. The phrasing of the saying has changed over time and different sets of pictures have been attached. QI hypothesizes that the origination date was recent, perhaps as late as 2012. The efforts of the creators have been successful for now. The basic saying has achieved viral status with its dubious ascription."you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment

They said the same thing about television 40 years ago ...

Less contact with the now but more contact with the was. I have found a shitload of people from my past because of social networking. Not sure that's always good but I can tell you It's not so bad.Comment

"QI believes" Anyhow, that's only an blogger opinion. At officially wikiquote page and many other,you can see that Einstein's words. Said or not, that's the truth.Comment

You can't compare people reading the newspaper and learning about the world they live in, VS. Morons sitting around checking their email and Facebook entries.
A true generation of unthinking anti social morons. I just have to figure out how I can make millions of these fucking sheep.Comment

That's not a social situation anyway. A better analogy would be a group of friends out to dinner, all reading their own individual newspapers.
I only (occasionally) load FB on my mobile, and when I do it's as a normal web page. No way am I installing that app. I can't imagine how fucking annoying it would be for it to buzz or ding every time something happened on FB.Comment
