    One Response to Arthur C. Clarke about the Internet & PC in 1974

      Kudos for picking up this book and shirnag it with your readers I loved it myself. For a more personal take on technology’s effect on families, I also enjoyed Susan Maushart’s memoir The Winter of Our Disconnect: How Three Totally Wired Teenagers (and a Mother Who Slept with Her iPhone)Pulled the Plug on Their Technology and Lived to Tell the Tale). Watching Maushart’s return to living in RL (real life) was informative. She describes how our virtual lives can actually keep us from addressing very real needs in our personal lives, and for her, unplugging led to taking the reins of finding her own happiness. The story of her son’s transformation from 24/7 gamer to someone who pursues his own dreams is equally impressive. I like the idea of internet-free hours each day. 3-7 is a good start for me I can’t speak for my husband, as the baseball season is still in full swing. Thanks for another thoughtful article!
