wow last paragraph can really be lifted, doubled and applied to smart phones i pad gadgetry....wre are getting used to taking orders, having our visions and "experiences" co-opted from other's and delivered by gadgets that we become dependent upon, addicted even ( good, great for business profits) Living life from a safe yet unexperiential and therefore sensually devoid distance will not expand our conscious minds, I think it's a state of arrested development and that isn't a good thing for any species. Evolution is the leap.
