As much as I love my technology, it is important to remember that everything will still be on your phone, and that text can still be sent after you arrive at your destination. @Andrew, I am possibly in the minority here, but due in part to having a flexible (self-employed) work schedule I am home with my daughter during the day. So we have a lot of time, otherwise you are absolutely correct, the time with your children is precious and should be enjoyed. As for my wife, without getting personal, I will say that laptops are not a daily occurrence. @Pete,

I would think that with the limited time you probably have with with her that you would want to capitalize on it instead of ignoring each other while in the same room. Similarly with your wife, has technology replaced sex and affection? Someday, when we just plug the computers into our heads and it all seems "normal", we may pine for the "simpler" times of old.

I totally agree with Pete and you Robert. Although I do not read my morning news at breakfast (probably because I do not have a netbook or Iphone, i got this 3 yr old Toshiba) :D But what I do not understand is that how people let tech gadgets control their lives... humans are meant to be controlling the tech, not the other way around.... i guess judgement day cant be too far behind :P:P Hehehe…
