Kind of just a rant but Google Glasses is still in testing and yet it seems people are already walking around with their phones attached to their faces. It always blows my mind when I see this - people, especially moms, plastering pics of their kid in the hospital on Facebook.
Put down your damn phone and go BE with your kid already. LIFE is happening around you.
I simply cannot fathom the thinking of a parent whose impulse while sitting in a hospital is to shove a camera in their kid's face. Or, if they had the impulse, why they would think it's responsible parenting to act on it...
It used to be that kids got embarrassed when their parents showed the baby pics to their friends. Now they're putting every single moment of their lives online so their friends can "like" it. Don't even get me started on the privacy and safety concerns of such stupidity.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
