A truly masterfully written article that makes us yearn for the days now past when everything, both inside and outside of ourselves, was much quieter.
The amount of noise today is unprecedented. I am reminded of the movie _Her_ in which one sees a world where technology can move into the background and augment human relationships. Granted, there are moments in that film when the tech hurts instead of hinders, but compare that to today's world where everything has the "in your face" mentality.
I highly recommend this book to anyone because it creates a framework for understanding the world from someone who is addicted to social media. It takes the current state of affairs to their conclusions in a rather well made way.
