Baron, Part 2

In the second half of The Better Pencil Baron focuses on societies overall dependence on technology. Baron points out that technology, like email, has grown to a point where not using it stops progress. Society has made it impossible to function without the use of technology. We can't communicate without cellphones or email. Companies can't function without these tools either.

Baron also points out that the growth of MySpace and Facebook were extreme in the course of five years. People went from logging onto Facebook once a week to logging on multiple times a day. The social aspect of Facebook has taken over society. We spend more time scrolling on people's Facebook pages then we do actually communicating in person. With the constant growth of time spent online, it's surprising that people still have time for jobs.
