Dependency (Score: 3, Insightful) by nightsky30@pipedot.org on 2014-04-30 10:43 (#19H) It might be nice to have that technical connection if you urgently need some weather or life saving information, but I think it's a distraction otherwise. The first world has become too dependent on technology. We can't seem to put our phones, tablets, whatever down. We are much more disconnected than we think we are, but not in a technical sense. The wifi won't do much for you if Yellowstone does ever happen to go boom. We're better off relearning some basic survival skills. One day, technology may not be here.

Did you catch the eclipse the other day? Re: Dependency (Score: 1) by nightsky30@pipedot.org on 2014-05-01 11:34 (#19W) Thank you for the complement on the username. :) I did not. Sadly it was very cloudy the night of April 15th. I will have to hope for better weather October 8th 2014, April 4th 2015, and September 28th 2015. At least we get a few more chances.
