Bitter Irony
I just wrote an amazingly well-conceived article on the whole Chris Crocker thing (he is this idiot who made a video watched by millions of people on YouTube) that was witty, intelligent, and extremely apropos. The message I wanted to convey was that all this technology was not actually making us lazier and dumber; we were already lazy and dumb to begin with - the technology was actually creating a platform for us to be less lazy and dumb.
Then I hit ‘Publish’ and it somehow disappeared into thin air. Then I decided it was easier to simply assure you that I had written a good essay and go watch TV instead of retype my essay.
So perhaps technology is in fact making us dumber and lazier.
God, you win this round.
