Is It Safe to Friend a Dead Guy on Facebook?

There is a tragic epidemic going on around us-a dreadful disconnect between human beings and the real world we live in. We are paying frightfully little attention to our real-world surroundings. We are addicted to digital devices.

It's time for us to swallow a healthy dose of reality and find balance between our digital lives and our flesh-and-blood relationships. Steve Krupnik's satirical analysis of "digital junkies" makes a clear case that technology is advancing much more rapidly than its users. He turns his keen eye to smart phones, social media, video games, and texting, humorously revealing their negative impact on society.

Krupnik combines his writing with illustrations to create a one-two punch that makes for a uniquely funny look at the digital age and how it affects our quality of life. Readers may disagree with his perspective, but it is hard to deny that digital devices are changing our lives in ways that may not be in our best interest.
