Dr. Postman ruins snow days

In Dr. Postman's novel "Amusing ourselves to Death" and his speech at Calvin College both relate to how dependent we are on technology. We use it everyday, whether its using our phones, making our food, or just going on to blogger.com to do some ridiculous assignment even tho we had two snow day in a row. He says in his speech that we have become so dependent on technology, that when we start talking to a door knob or a toaster, we won't find it strange or awkward, we will just go on with our lives like nothing happened, it will become irrelevant. The more and more technologically advanced we become, the more we become "pets" to technology. We are truly beginning to rely on technology too much. We don't even talk person to person anymore, its mostly on phones or texting instead of actually talking to the person. The point Dr. Postman is trying to make is that we rely to heavily on our technology, and that even talking to toasters, and door knobs, its still weird.
