Technology - Part II - Radio

With the advent of the internet, all of the previous mass media forms- print, radio, and television have been incorporated but the interface is still a bit clunky, but it is quickly getting better in all aspects. But it requires more user-interaction than those other forms of media. The user has to navigate, make selections, and pay attention, the passive experience of TV and Radio has been replaced by an addiction model. We crave our "Fix", be it Facebook, Twitter, email, and yes, even blogging.
Are the results worth it?

To be consistent with your metaphor, would you say that some people -- perhaps late 17th or early 18th century -- were "addicted" to newspapers?
Blogger is definitely my fix!

Jim ~ One of the causes of the American Revolution was the independent press - bloggers of their day?
