If You Never Turn Off, You Will Never Turn On

Albert Einstein wrote, “I fear the day when technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots.”  The dictionary defines “idiot” as, “an utterly foolish and senseless person.”  Ring any bells?  Recently on a talk show another scientist pointed out that the internet and modern technology, such as smartphones and personal computers, and MAC, are intended to be tools for connecting us and bringing our world closer together.  The results have been exactly the opposite.  It is not my intention to knock Apple or Microsoft, I too enjoy these sometimes magical inventions of the 20th and 21st Century that continue to rise out of the evolving consciousness of mankind.  No, this article is about the “humanity” part of Einsteins words.
