No, he didn't actually say that but we made his point with this headline (and probably with everything else we do here, hehehe). Here's what the Prez actually said when addressing the graduates of the historically Black Hampton University:
“You’re coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don’t always rank that high on the truth meter. And with iPods and iPads, and Xboxes and PlayStations – none of which I know how to work — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation. So all of this is not only putting pressure on you; it’s putting new pressure on our country and on our democracy.”
Everything in moderation, people. But, I guess it's too late for that where humanity and technology are concerned. Let's face it, it's taken us over and there's no lookin' back now. Hang on folks!
