lost to the screen

06/27/12 11:38

The other day at Publix ("Where shopping is a pleasure") I saw a woman pushing a cart with two little girls inside. When I was a boy I loved going shopping with my mother. It was at a small town grocery store - not a city supermarket - but still I was mesmerized by all the different foods - especially the cookies and candies - the colorful labels, the tightly-packed aisles.

The girls in the cart noticed none of these things. They were both focused on the small screen of a device that they held between their laps. I assumed it was showing a cartoon. Whatever, it made grocery shopping indistinguishable from any other video-rich outing. It robbed them of a childhood memory.

Henry James instructed us to "be people on whom nothing is lost." We are producing a generation on whom everything is lost.

With Ophcrack, you should not have any use of Windows as a way
to recover your lost passwords. Taking a cue from that, if publishers
will make their ebooks accessible to a larger audience instantly,
it could and will encourage readers to go for your authentic version.
