What if there was no internet? what if we had no cell phones? without internet you would likely have lots less laziness, people would actually be doing things. They'd be going out with family,friends they wouldn't say, oh my friends are waiting for me so I can play war craft on the computer with them. Obesity.........many people complain about their weight, but look at what they do. I can only imagine how many people spend 5-8 hours a day on a computer everyday. no exercise,activities, strictly on the computer. And they want to complain about fast food chains making them gain weight? Are you F***ing kidding me?!!? And cell phones, Imagine how many lives lost driving because of cell phones. The 90's was a much better time period were people actually gave a dam about themselves and would actually move around a little bit instead of sitting on the comp. all day. They actually used to do things with their family instead of being in a chat room doing who knows what? But that's my take on it.

At age 66 I am old enough to remember life before cell phones and internet, and even before TV.
All three display a likeness of life, but are not real life. If you settle for that, that is what you will have.
TV has become heavily oriented to fueling consumerism. I can also see that TV in general has an editorial point of view on what we should be and believe.
When people my age discuss a subject, they often offer life experience as evidence. Younger people seem to use what they saw or read in media much more. Quite often, their opinions are what TV editors chose to present.
Movies, and particularly Westerns, are a good example. Old westerns were written and acted by people familiar with the old west and horses, cows, etc. Later westerns, were by those whose ideas were formed to a large degree by earlier western movies. Third hand westerns are often the case now. Some, like Brokeback Mountain are "westerns" who attempt to press a social concept. I prefer live experience with horses, cows, and guns.
Direct experience gives us a kind of certainty, that media information does not. As children, we all saw Wiley Coyote crushed flat, then pop up and run, and more sophisticated versions of the same. We know, that media experience is not always sure, and I think that attitude extends to all media experience. We know, for instance, that news always has a conservative slant from some sources, and a liberal slant from others. The facts remain uncertain.
Personally, I use phones minimally, for their convenience. The net is great for accessing information, but I limit its use as entertainment. I don't own or use a TV. A brief time on MD shows the perils of treating net relationships on a par with real life interaction. Also, even if a group watches media together, each is issolated in his experience.
I like to have a discussion, looking into the eyes of a real friend, where I can see all the play of emotions in his or her face and body, discussing real events. I do not spend time discussing TV sitcoms or idols.
Real is better!
