Where clubs/groups that were once popular with our grandparents' generation are gaining attention once again. If only for further human interaction or to disconnect ourselves from these sensitivity depriving instruments we make use of day to day. Like knitting clubs, star gazing clubs, etc. I actually encountered an interesting article (if only I could remember where) that talked about how there’s a new backlash in the young generation to the “techno-bubble”, or technology induced stress.

For a while, I actually boycotted listening to my iPod on the bus because I didn't want to be in my techno-bubble of isolation like everyone else. I feel the same way about cell phones, people walk around talking on the phone to the people they already know, and not giving anyone new a chance. Good post, I’ve had similar thoughts myself.
