  See the following YouTube video: "College Lecture Series - Neil Postman - "The Surrender of Culture to Technology"," to enjoy all 7 questions to ask of any new technology. Love this guy. Extremely relevant in 2023.

  I still don&apos;t own a smart phone but I cannot help but wonder how long I can function in society without one... which I find alarming

  Three weeks before this talk, a journalist named Matt Drudge took a story that Newsweek spiked, and he posted it on his email-based newsletter.

  Ha! I&apos;m a student and in English course doing a paper on an essay &quot;Television Teacher&quot;. He died in 2003. The essay is so dated &nbsp;and really his skeptical view really is adding to the anxiety of the future. I call that fear lol
