I'm old school enough to appreciate the memories of a slower paced life, Its like a catch-22 situation between New Tech (which changes every 15mins) & Old School (i love to read but can't remember when was the last time i have sat down to read a favorite book), I opt for New Tech. We live in a society based on instant gratification and all the internet tools you mentioned is the reality of the world we live in now. I also come from an upbringing that taught me moderation. So as much as i love instant high tech gadgets n toys i also love staying in tune with nature and mother earth. Great Article, love your intellect and style of writing. Keep up the insightful insights. Aho! Hi Pete,
