Obsession - or just a sign of the times?
Mum observes the changing world.
Overheard conversations in the street this morning were laced with references to www, the internet, email and similar........it used to be that folk discussed the weather, shopping, TV and so on. Are we becoming obsessed?

Yes, in fact one of the most growing mental illnesses is OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
I think is comes out of consumism and going faster and faster; the human brain is not able to absorb so much in so little time for so long without breaking somehow...
And now tech is the biggest buzz, the most valuable useless thing that haunts consumism.
I'm not saying consumism is bad, I honestly don't know, but we are just going damn too fast.
