My Monster, My Self

New illo in The Nation for an article titled "My Monster, My Self". Gary Greenberg writes: With our tiny screens and cellphones, we have become prosthetic gods, the whole world in our handhelds. Are we not also monsters?
I was thinking of the scene in Karloff's Frankenstein, where Frank has an emotional, introspective moment while admiring a flower given to him by a girl (who he then accidentally kills). Here, Frank skips the introspection and checks his email instead.

true fact: by focusing intently on something for too long, you allow your brain to become obsessed with it. your brain waves actually speed up to accomodate for the stress associated with obsessing about something (like a crackberry). the antidote to this problem would appear to be transcendental meditation which allows the mind to return to its preferred state of peace.

im not familiar with karloff but he seems like a good read.
