I like this blog.
I should probably steer more towards a visual blog since I seem to be terrible at producing text.
One question some of his observations brought up (he does work for Nokia), regarding the constant presence of cell phones (which he finds to be one of three essential objects always carried worldwide, no matter what culture), is this; are they somehow, by their perception of security and constant connectivity to information and services, making everyone so lazy that personal resourcefulness will eventually get outsourced like everything else.
Will the cell phone become everyone's personal concierge? You see it in cars with the onstar system which can unlock your doors should you lock your precious child in there, saving you the personal embarrassment of calling a locksmith (who will certainly judge your parenting negatively); don't worry, onstar won't tell!
Ultimately these sorts of things are all positive, we don't want any more kids baking in the sun and how cool is it that you can use that camera phone to get the license plate of that sicko that tried to lure your daughter in his car.
Yes, I realize I still don't have one of the infernal things.
Anyway, I think this guy has my dream job, except that part about working for Nokia.

After skimming, that blog looks right up your alley.
This reminds me of a phrase that my Business Ethics teacher once told the class: "Today's comforts become tomorrow's necessities."
BTW your writing is fine, so give yourself some credit. You read often and I'm sure that gives you "an edge" compared to us non-readers.
Yeah, I try to include pictures in my blog as much as possible because I find that they make blogs more appealing. Draw 'em in with pictures, keep 'em reading with good content.
