Happily, individuals always have a choice :)

I've laughed several times already at "culture clumping" and "lifestyle clumping".

Being a technology native, I had good timing and got to grow up with the "golden library" that was the information superhighway.

The kids nowadays have to filter more tabloid info/illiteracy in a day than I had to in the course of years. I got to skip late-stage television too :p

Innovation in the 21st century is soooooooo much better than anything fiction has to offer.
