My Big Bang Theory

Our society thrives on an acquisitiveness for multimedia-enabled smartphones and pads. The now "normal" use of these devices so isolates a person as to create a disinclination to leave that isolation to directly interplay within the immediate human reality. Try to find eye contact with another person as you walk across a college campus. There is generally an indifference to seek out entertainment other than "app" choices that "take you anywhere to do anything." Even at, for example, a sport's event a substantial number of people will be engaged more with the glowing object in their hand than all around them. This self-imposed isolation also creates a laziness to the expression of human emotional response outside the Wi Fi capability. The movement of a finger to express LOL, 182, OMG, AML, ILU, BWL, and, of course, ROTFLMAO is now sufficient effort at emotion.

I write this now with a single complaint in mind. "The Big Bang Theory," a well written, very funny television sit-com is debased and ruined by a ridiculous and unnecessary laugh track undoubtedly targeted toward an audience too lazy to laugh on its own. LLTA .
