In my last post I noted that my goal of maintaining some level of privacy was being tested as I looked for a level 2 charger. But it’s clear that the privacy issue extends far beyond the plug in my garage.
As I read your reflections on the pluses and minuses of the technological perks which our new cars can provide, I thought of the pleasure I have been taking in our unseasonably warm temperatures for several days here in Illinois in March while fretting at the same time about what such weather portends about climate change. We have no control over the weather but at least we can exert some control, as you did, over the technology we are willing to accept.
Thanks so much for this comment George. You've pinpointed one of the most important things I really want to explore. We sometimes feel like technology is happening to us, but we actually make a lot of decisions about technology. If we reflect on the decisions we make, we can have a pretty significant impact.
Jamey,
