Isn't technology captivating?


Are you free?  Or not?
According to merriam-webster.com, 'captivating' means "to influence and dominate by some special charm, art, or trait and with an irresistible appeal."  The definition seems almost light-hearted.  However, a film that came out in 2011, CAPTIVATED:  finding freedom in a media captive culture, gives another dimension to this word.
I have only watched video clips from the movie so far, but I hope to watch the whole thing sometime soon.  Am I living in a 'techno-utopia'?... or a 'virtual prison'?  I have a feeling that my life story needs a rescue mission from captivity...
Does yours too?
