I despaired on technology keeping up with my personal needs long ago, so implemented UDFs that presaged the Twit Filter, Caller ID, Do not call lists and Spam filters.
I found that indifference to the imprecations of others, bemusement at the idea that somehow a ringing device demanded my immediate attention ( when the ringer can be so easily turned off ) and the ability to skim and dismiss large amounts of text without even really thinking much about it could be nicely meshed with my God-given attention deficit disorder to allow me the illusion of privacy.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
