Interesting article looking at our digital world and how prized true human contact is becoming. As more and more people have entire careers that are online creating websites and so on, their life's work is so ephemeral compared to the craftsmen of yesteryear, and perhaps people are coming to value the human interactions of life more because they see that as more enduring than their life's work.
From The New York Times:
Valuable Humans in Our Digital Future
A recent article noted that lots of consumer technology is available to the poor. The things that get people out of poverty, like education and child care, are becoming more expensive. You could read that as a sign that the digital explosion is creating a new kind of shortage.
