Do Gadgets Degrade Our Common Sense?

ShelleyPortet writes "In a world where gadgets are growing more sophisticated, human behavior is changing — and not in a good way. That is what Robert Vamosi, author of When Gadgets Betray Us argues in his book, which examines the dangers of our growing dependence on technology. As gadgets develop the ability to multitask seemingly endless functions, Vamosi argues that people are increasingly unable to think for themselves. 'Instead of lifting our heads, looking around and thinking for ourselves,' Vamosi writes, some of us no longer see the world as human beings have for thousands of years and simply accept whatever our gadgets show us."

Then you have people like yourself, who have no culture or religion and your the only way you can express how liberated you are is by saying you had sex with a Shemale. You're part of the problem with the opposite of "Dictators, Politicians, Religious Persons" in that you don't care about anyone else but you, and your hedonistic tendencies.

You've expressed that you're no more evolved than two dogs humping in the backyard. And you think that is sophistication. Thanks but I don't want your version of the world any more than you want mine.
