Won’t anyone think of the hacker children!
Oh my this child ruined! Tear that iPad away! Look at the frozen eyes: the child is trapped, sucked in, by consuming! For the love of all that is geeky, give this child an Archos and a screwdriver before they are trapped into being a zombified consumer for the rest of their life instead of fulfilling their destiny as a proper maker/hacker/doctorow!
The iPad is just the gateway to less and less creativity and interaction, the next thing you know they will be laying there passively consuming without even a home button in sight, reading a book made out of old fashioned non-interactive paper.
Modern Love – Those Aren’t Fighting Words, Dear – NYTimes.com
I’d recently committed to a non-negotiable understanding with myself. I’d committed to “The End of Suffering.” I’d finally managed to exile the voices in my head that told me my personal happiness was only as good as my outward success, rooted in things that were often outside my control. I’d seen the insanity of that equation and decided to take responsibility for my own happiness. And I mean all of it.
One of the best examples of owning one’s feelings and one’s happiness I’ve read in a long while. In the face of a husband in a mid-life crisis who was determined to destroy their marriage, this woman showed more strength, self confidence, and self control than most people could ever manage. And as a result, saved their marriage.
I recommend that all my recently married friends read this woman’s experience.
