Screen invasion
Monday, August 24, 2009 by Technoculture and New Media
Enjoyable silly piece on the ubiquity of screens by Guardian columnist, Charlie Brooker:
"We watch them on the bus. At work. At play. We have been invaded by screens. They rule our lives. All we need is a screen to have sex with and the circle will be complete"

I loved this funny link! It is so true and in some ways sobering.
"George Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Aldous Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us".
Neil Postman (Author)
"Orwell's was a house of horrors. He seemed to strain credulity because he posited a regime that would go to any lengths to own and possess history, to rewrite and construct it, and to inculcate it by means of coercion. Whereas Huxley ... rightly foresaw that any such regime could break but could not bend".
Christopher Hitchens (Journalist)
