‘Opinion leaders’ opinion!

Disclaimer first: This is not a post about VoIP, but technology at large. Enjoy, the occasional change.

gamepolitics reports on how Bill O?reilly went all out attacking the gizmos from iPod to Sony Playstation 3 on his Radio Factor show. O?reilly calls the youth “prisoners of machines” and says, “The have-nots are growing. Why are they growing? Because the skill set that is necessary to earn a decent living is being deemphasized in a fantasy world of football games and shooting zombies and all that.”

He classifies the population into two 45 ?n? above and 45 ?n? below. In his words you can put it, “Basically what you have is a large portion of the population, mostly younger people under the age of 45, who don?t deal with reality – ever.”

In my opinion, while all technology has its good points they also have some negative or undesired effect on few section of society. Be it Playstation or mobile phone or even our old television. There is a thin line dividing the good and the bad, every thing within due limits is good and addiction is always bad.

My Take: Don?t stop using gadgets because O?reilly think so, but because you think you have better jobs to it. I am also wondering what O?reilly Gradpa must be saying when he was watching TV or stuck up with his Sony Walkman.
