Technology at it's worst!

If you think technology is the best thing around; if you think that people look before they leap; if you think there is no such thing as going too far, read this! Talk about technology eating up a human being. Granted, a 17 year old can and often does do stupid things, but this goes well beyond that! And, now, what does he have to show for his iPad? Kidney failure. Wow! Wonder if those crazy gamers in the Second Skin video would do something like this to purchase the latest game? Hmmmm

Oh, and see what China is doing now. Makes me glad I don't live there. People here are concerned about losing their freedom of speech. At least we had it to begin with- and still do have it, in my opinion. China? Not so much.

Both of these stories are something we need to talk about in Media and Society.
