    Laptops put the world at your fingertips.

    Laptops put you under the world’s thumb.

    How does that yoke fit?

    Hmm?

    Those unfeeling wedges of plastic sunder Man from his most intimate connections, his most

    Sacred.

    Of.

    Duties.

    Laptops are unassailable walls

    Between parents and their helpless infants.

    Between little old ladies and their deliciously hypnotic knitting projects.

    Between humans and their piteously neglected feline companions.

    It’s time for Man to cast out the beguiling demons of email and eBay, of World of Warcraft and Wikipedia, of blogs and Twitter and YouTube to leave productivity, easy answers and instant gratification behind and return the promised land of Lapdom to its natural trustees.

    Unplug.

    Hahaha. I don’t see the em dash, but the title tags are showing for me. I enjoy them immensely.
