It was blood red and...

nasty and but here we are uh five weeks out i think and everything seems to be healing and i am slowly it takes about six months but i have some vision wow in my right eye i'm starting to see things science is crazy man i mean this is just an amazing when you said by the way you said surgery i have the surgery don't recommend you just mean having someone cut your eye open sucks you don't mean actually i don't like because you can see out of your eye which is kind of a big deal like i think

Yeah, it's a huge deal.

Okay, we'll see what the end result is.

I may very well recommend the entire panoply of surgery and heal time, but the surgery itself was more than I was expecting.

Yeah.

But for you, it's different because you would be closing one eye and seeing half of what you normally see.

Since birth, my brain has been learning to use one eye to create the full picture.

Yeah.

Man, he really brought me back with that line, turn off the boob tube.

My parents were obsessed with turning off the boob tube.

I eventually started to wonder why we even had a boob tube in the first place.

It seemed like the only thing we ever did with it was turn it off.

And that gets to something really important, and that is that the fear of technology is not new.

It did not start with television.

In fact, many of the fears people have today about the smartphone are almost identical to the fears people once had about the phone phone.

Or I guess now we'd have to call that the dumb phone.

Yes, exactly.

Critics argued that speaking to someone without physically being present was unnatural and would weaken social bonds.

Many people believed that face-to-face conversation was morally and socially superior and that the telephone encouraged emotional laziness.
