One more devastating component to consider - cell phones and the eradication of in person interaction and in fact actual connection with the environment. Ever wander into a business's lunch room during a break, there is dead silence and each and every person is lost in their cell phones. Loosing a cell phone may equate to a total personal disaster and inability to function (phone numbers, directions, the feeling of worthiness gone quiet)
We see the same thing here in Maui, couples and their kids here for a week, spending thousands of dollars, and they sit on the beach... glued to their phones! Crazy. It's a society-wide addiction.
