Sorry, I don’t have a downer on technology. In fact, I probably
have pretty much all the latest gizmos. I just (a) don’t overly rely
too much on any of it and (b) see them all as useful tools rather
than having any intrinsic meaning in themselves, in a status
symbol or one-up-personship kind of way.
Doing something useful with your life counts. Going shopping
because you’re bored doesn’t. Yes, by all means go shopping,
but see what you do as counting or not counting, being real or
not being real, having real value or not, being of some benefit or
not.
What do the two underlined sentences mean?
Thanks!
