Aw, that's sweet, Amesja.

One important point in the book, which I've only just begun, is that if we don't grasp technology, it takes over us. It creates anxiety and a separation between those who understand it and those who don't. It limits our choices and reduces our happiness. I have begun to make this point when I teach people about computers. I'm a computer consultant, and people tell me they just want their computers to work. I used to accept that wholesale, but now I recommend a little learning throughout life, even if it doesn't bring them to the level of mastery.
