Frank Bruni has an excellent column
this morning at the NY Times. It's about college life and the way kids
are using it these days. But as always with Bruni, it's far ranging.
Here's a bit:
The Internet has proved to be one of the great ironies of modern life. It opens up an infinite universe for exploration, but people use it to stand still, in a favorite spot, bookmarking the websites that cater to their existing hobbies (and established hobbyhorses) and customizing their social media feeds so that their judgments are constantly reinforced, their opinions forever affirmed.
I
suggest we all develop a habit of reading everything Frank Bruni
writes. He is a national treasure who will only grow more valuable in
the murky years ahead.
