“Society is dead, We have retreated into the iworld” by Andrew Sullivan talks about how the apple products have taken control of his life. He compares church to and an apple store and makes the clerics seem like the priests waiting in their confessionals. He uses colorful examples to state how technology has taken over our lives pretty much in general which is true. He admits how he himself was addicted to the iPod and the apple products, but yet the dislike he had for the way that technology has had on society itself.
“Now I have iTunes in my iMac for my iPod in my iWorld”
This quote is significant because I had many of my friends like this. I am not a Mac person but my friends were consumed entirely in the apple world. I had seen my friends with their iPhones and iPods and Mac’s they were completely let go into all those things.
“Society without the social”
This is applicable to life itself since people now a-days do everything online now and rather live their life through a screen or a little electronic device that plays music for them, than rather go out into the real world and live things for themselves and have their own real experiences.
