Is it oxymoronic to post this here?

Here's a true and thought-provoking trailer for Tim Challies's new book on life and technology:



This reminds me that on Friday I took an hour and went to read at my favorite spot at Corona Del Mar. It was around lunchtime, and quite a few people came and went with their lunches.

Every

single

person

(even those who came with someone else)

spent a good chunk of time checking whatever-people-check on their smartphones.

At the beach! On a splendid and beautiful day! Oh, the travesty.

The smartphone is truly the most life-degrading piece of technology I've ever interacted with. At least my laptop runs out of battery power after an hour or so...
