You know what I mean — how you can't walk 25 yards without passing a Panera Bread or seeing a little kid decked out in Crocs.

I grew up in Columbia, and I am always surprised when I return how much has changed. I'm happy to see more development (especially with fun stores like Filene's), but the traffic really is getting out of control.
I've never liked Columbia. Primary reason? Signage, or lack thereof. I suppose clear, easy to read signage necessary to find places and navigate streets was deemed unpleasant in the planned community.
My friend and I were recently talking about how we as human beings are so hooked onto electronics. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about all the time.
