The World According to Ellen

     Ellen DeGeneres' article about the annoyances of all the modern day technology was very humorous and hit the nail on the head in many instances. She talks about how technology is supposed to be making things easier and faster for us, but most of the time they are just a hindrance and annoyance to people around us. She talks about cell phones, and how you never get service or you are around someone who is having a loud conversation that you do not particularly care about hearing. This is true, and we have so much to say when other people are doing it, but never realize ourselves when we are the ones having the loud obnoxious conversations in a public area.  I found Ellen's article to be effective because it touched on lighter subjects, and did not try to warn us of the dangers of television and the internet, while still getting the point across that sometimes it's better to just take the extra few minutes to turn the knob on the faucet instead of using the automatic one.
