Is Today's Technology a Modern Day Lotus?
Greek Mythology speaks of Odysseus and his crew being blown off course and landing where the natives consumed lotus fruits and flowers.  The food was narcotic and addictive and caused the eaters to fall asleep and become apathetic!  To rescue his crew members, Odysseus had to have them forcefully removed and tied to their ship to get them to leave! Now flash forward about 3000 years, and perhaps the lotus has returned with today's technology carrying the banner.  Used to be TV was solely blamed for our couch potato state.  Now, Smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Farmville, Foursquare, Mafia Wars,video games, websites by the tens of thousands, you get the drift?  And we fully recognize that this same media is our outlet for communicating this message!  And I'll plead Guilty to constantly checking my email on the Crackberry, the ballscores on the laptop, checking in on old friends on Facebook that otherwise wouldn't still be a part of my life with thousands of miles separating us.
The question at hand?  Is this technology a good thing or a bad thing?   Technology has revolutionized much of our daily lives!  Real estate has changed radically and will CONTINUE to evolve.  No more ... more
