Who hired the illustrator? Are they smoking something?

Talk about a poor form/function ratio!

There is more to digital capitivity than computer games. There is more to it than coach potato enhancement leading to poor health. It causes accidents (how many times have you seen people talking or texting on cell phones and losing focus on driving?), it affects relationships and leads to poor ettiquette. Digital captivity also includes cell phones, text messaging, PDA's, Instant Message, Facebook, and MySpaceto name a few. Two things. I have a 17 yr old who sent and recieved over 3000 text messages during one-month (and I've heard stories that 3000 is nothing!). We've taken action on this. Second, I work with a lot of adult clients who instantly respond to Blackberry (there is a reason they call them Crackberry!) and cell phone calls. They think nothing of getting up and walking out of meetings to respond to calls. How many times have you been sitting in a restuarant and someone's cell went off and they remained at the table and answered it? During a one-hour meeting yesterday, the gentleman next to me answered five "Crackberry" emails. He was not fully engaged in our meeting, thus we did not get a full participant. Which is more important - being there for who ever emails your "Crackberry" or the people who've come together to meet and solve problems?</p> I get it.
