I've been working with Mac-oriented websites since the mid-'90s. I have the latest hardware and software and do everything online that I possibly can. I love it! Oddly, however, we don't watch DVDs or download MP3s. I don't own a single DVD, buy maybe two-three music CDs per year. We have an old iPod that neither of us ever uses. Hardly ever watch TV, either. I'm no Luddite, I just have other things to do. Hey, I’m all for technology. It’s the marketing I despise.

It intrigues me how industrialized, rustbelt culture has a fear-based distrust of technology, while the less-developed Third World thirsts for it. Peruvian shepherds riding their llamas and talking on cellphones - that sort of thing. Read into this what you will. It’s good to see you so appreciative of the upside of technology.
