Uh-Oh!

Another reason why, at 74,  I increasingly feel like a stranger in a strange land in the 21st century...
                   
   A friend carries a pocket-sized phone 
containing a 3-D picture of his dog. 
    A bit larger than a deck of cards, this electronic device also enables my friend to watch pornographic films, buy stock, exchange messages with his daughter,  monitor the latest violence in the Middle East and play multiple Scrabble games with his friends.
   All of which suggests what we have here just may be a more powerful agent of cultural change than moveable type and the printing press.
