While reading chapter one of Douglas Rushkoff, a few parts stuck with me.
First, I cannot help but take away the part where he is referring to email taking away phone calls as opposed to letter writing. Since email came to be, I have always heard it called the end of letter writing, but that never sat right with me. I still write letters and emails. However, I make very few phone calls. This is the first time I feel like I can agree with someone describing how email has changed out world. Second, I enjoy the misplaced anxiety thoughts on how our brains develop differently with technology and how it makes perfect sense. We are adaptive and evolving creatures that change with out environments. We just need to remember to use technology appropriately and remember to as the chapter says not be "always on".
