The fourth generation iPhone launched yesterday. A pretty amazing piece of technology. When I heard about the video chat feature I was blown away. For about fifteen seconds. And then I heard myself saying, “Yeah, but it only works on a wifi network.”
What is wrong with me? But on second thought, what is wrong with us? Doesn’t it feel as a culture we are growing more and more intolerant of any small glitch in the technology matrix we now find ourselves so immersed in? For example, if a skype call crashes, a live-streaming sporting event freezes, or your car GPS takes more than 5 seconds to locate your position—a new technology version of road rage appears in far too many of us. All I’m saying is maybe we should all just take a step back, be amazed the insane amount of magic we take for granted everyday and just chill…
If the computer overlords want to rule our life, AND ask for our forgiveness, I’m not buying.
