Information Becomes a Distraction

With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation.

Your spelling in the thread title is distracting me.

If you agree to remove your post, I'll change it.

 

He would remove it but he's distratced by his iPod

 

I'm still trying to figure out how to use it.

 

Your correction is me noted. But I ain't giving up the post.

 

I don't have any iPod, nor an iPad,XBox, PS 1, 2 or 3, Wii, or even a blackberry.

But damn, my turntable works great!

 

Have you had to have the crank replaced?

 

Doesn't sound like you have to worry about too much information.

No wonder you never come across as distracted.

 

Hey, I had one of those, too. An antique. Lost it in the divorce.

 

I've got an old Victrola. Plays '78s. Love it.

But damn it, this thread is not working out like I was hoping it to.

 

Maybe because it's a dumb thread. I don't own any game systems but I know that without my iPod, I wouldn't get nearly as much reading on my morning commute as I do now. As it has always been, the key to making information a tool of empowerment is in the hands of those taking in the information. For someone who openly cheers on the party of personal responsibility, you certainly seem to be passing it off with this thread.
