On 21st Century Society
In many ways, yes, I’d say this quote sums up the 21st century pretty well:
“If anything characterizes the 21st century, it’s our inability to restrain ourselves for the benefit of other people,” said James Katz, director of the Center for Mobile Communication Studies at Rutgers University. “The cellphone talker thinks his rights go above that of people around him, and the jammer thinks his are the more important rights.”
And in other ways, it doesn’t sum it up at all. Oh dichotomous world!
