Don't get me wrong, I love alot of the newer tecnologys like, HD TV for example. About a year ago, I sold my perfectly good 32" 16x9 CRT TV for a 46" LED TV and I love it!

However, we must all be the master of all tecnologys and not let them be the master of us as you pointed out.

BTW, there is a misconception (fostered by comedic media) that older people do not like or understand modern/new tecnologys. This is totaly false for the most part.
Don't forget that those in their mid 60s for example, have seen the birth of the transistor and the development of the whole digital revolution.

Truth is, they simply know how to be the masters of those tecnologys they want while shunning those they trully do not need.
Example... I presently have three computers at home (that I built myself) that are connected to the net. WTF do I need (and have to pay for) a telephone that also can connect to the net for?
I also have a "flip phone" with a camera as I think also having a camera is handy to have at times. However, I just use, and only pay for its use, as a telephone with no texting.
I treasue my privacy and time when I can not be contacted and often turn my cell phone off if I do no not need it. If someone truly needs to contact me (family and close friends), they have my land line number and they can leave a message.

Endless and often pointless text messages are for children!!
Why are so many people now so afraid that they are going to miss something if they are not in contact with 100% of the people they know 100% of the time? They must be leading boring, miserable lives to be constantly so concerend about what other people are doing!

I'm getting a bit annoyed being bombarded by "scan this with your smart phone". When did advertising become entertainment that we woudd seek out?
It's another example of people allowing a tecnology to be their master
