Week 3, Thing 7 (cont.)

One of the most interesting technology-related items I've come across recently was a Berkeley Breathed cartoon in which Opus the Penguin and Bill the Cat come across a college student laying paralyzed on the sidewalk because all of his electronic gadgets have failed and he has gone "un-entertained for twenty minutes!!" This brought to mind Jimmy Buffett's tune, "Everybody's on the Phone" (www.buffettworld.com/lyrics/takeweather.php#phone). Communication is great...as long as you have something worth communicating.
