Sarah Palin is really trying hard to be a member of this forum.

Very well put.

I can only speak for myself on this, but I don't think we're alone at all, not even more alone than we've ever been. Between social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, message boards/forums, smartphones, iPads, iPods, and a plethora of other recent technological advancements, it's almost impossible for a person to be "alone" anymore.

Maybe solitary is a better word. A.H.I. Actual Human Interaction is becoming rare with the influences of the technology.

It depends on what you mean by actual human interaction, really.

I would consider face-to-face contact to be actual human interaction.

Alone wasn't quite the word I was looking for....alienated was more like it. Seeing how that is a central theme of the wall, it would make sense that he would mock the iPod and iPhone as those are metaphors for alienation in many cases.

Yes, he also mentioned something about technology and isolation in his interview.

Seems like Roger should have played the bass in Devo.

I can just imagine Roger "Whipping it good"
