From children to adults, Americans are becoming enchanted with technology. Shoppers chat on their cell phones, stopping only to talk briefly to a cashier. On trips, children watch films on portable DVD players or play on their GameBoys instead of playing license-tag bingo. On airline flights, passengers watch movies on laptop computers, answer e-mails on their BlackBerries or watch episodes of Lost on their video iPods, rather than chatting with the person in the next seat.
So is tuning out the rest of the world good for us? Could we miss meeting our soul mate because we are too busy listening to our headphones?
