That is so cool! (Not the falling down the stairs bit -- that's just a sad cry for attention.) This is really big! I'm so glad you finally broke through. It's about time someone took notice.

It's staged as an interview with a guy who was put in prison for destroying technology after he got sick of being constantly available via his not-quite-bluetooth headset thing. Bradbury was always a sort of throwback/nostalgia sci-fi guy... part of 451 was that he was against all the technology and it was the story telling/literary thing that was important. I guess I'm just saying his stance on the internet isn't terribly surprising. For many individuals it's a fear/worry (sometimes not unfounded) of being unable to control the signal-to-noise ratio that fuels their dislike of technology (or certain technologies).
