Liking is for Cowards...

Liking Is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts.
By JONATHAN FRANZEN
This article was kind of weird.... To say the least, the author jumps from how vane we have become to his weird fascination with birds. But the main points are there, we call our gadgets sexy and give cars for presents just to fit in. We are in love with our technology, as a culture, community, society, whatever you want to label us as is this good? I would say in moderation, yes. If we become more fascinated with technology then competition between companies will increase as technology does. And with competition, anyone with any experience in economics knows, prices decrease. I am all for cheaper Iphones, in this economy that might just be what we need. He also talks about that we should get out of our rooms and experience life. Isn't that what we came to college for, an experience? I am all for unplugging from the network for a while it needs to be done with some people. You know the ones, who tweet how big of a number 2 they just dropped in the men's bathroom at the mall. Too much information, in my opinion, is being shared online daily. Yes it brings the world closer, but i don't want to be that close to the guy in my last example, do you?
