Avrom and Bubbe response to Douglas Rushkoff

As a film it is very strong, yes in some places it is slow and tough to sit there and take it all in. The connections in the film from one story to the next really gave it all purpose. The deeper understanding of what technology is all about and that in the right hands it can be an amazing thing. Just the general spirit of knowing when it can be too much of a good thing in the sense of what takes place in the internet cafes. However in America it was more of a social experience. Is there a reason why Americans know how to connect better? What would the general public say if our government ended up providing access to internet detox camps? Will we see Dr. Drew now in the future do a Celebrity Rehab about the internet. I always considered my use of the internet better then drinking or even cigarettes, but when the comparison in the film about doctors that used cigarettes because they didn't know any better left a bit of a pit in my stomach. Without the internet what kind of life would we be living. Would we get the same opportunities. Steven Speilberg snuck onto a lot and knew how to use the tools of his time to create himself into an icon. Aren't we that are in this new realm of technology just doing the same?
