Are we getting lost in the iworld? Andrew Sullivan, editor of Andrewsullivan.com, with a doctorate in political science from Harvard believes we are. In his article Society Is Dead: We Have Retreated into the iWorld, he clearly states how he believes new technology such as ipods and walkmans are taking away the "worldly sounds" of the streets. That cheerful chatter or the rush of the subway train. 


He uses a very professional sounding argument with no bias, stating that, he too, is victim to this new iWorld that is ever changing. He backs up his argument, with clear and concise statements. He makes his article informative yet fun to read at the same time. Not to mention the fact that the topic is very interesting since we can all pretty much relate to the use of ipods, or some form of musical technology. 


His topic and article make you want to take a step back and look around for yourself at what the world has become. Personally, I think that the world evolves, and the technology grows, as does the community along with it. 


I think that overall, he put together a very nice article and and supported his facts and arguments very well. He made you want to jump right in and see for yourself the changes of the world around us and how we are supposedly shutting out communication of our daily lives just walking down the street. Although he does have a very real and valid point, I doubt that now that we, as a people, will ever back out of the iWorld now that we have been introduced to it. It is always changing and evolving and that is just what we are going to have to do to keep up with it.
