DRIVERS, TIVOS AND OTHER CONUNDRUMS OF THE DIGITAL AGE

(commentary) Even the so-called "digital haves" are feeling the
strain of the digital age -- in their inability to keep up with
countless new technologies as they enter the mainstream. New York
Times columnist Andrés Martinez discusses just how far he (and no
doubt countless others) have fallen behind, from under-utilizing his
PC to foregoing broadband. "Consumer bewilderment and tech fatigue
are stalling the relentless march to the digital nirvana," he
laments. "Economists and telecom companies bemoan the slowness with
which people have embraced broadband. Can we really be faulted for
wanting to take a break before crossing the next bridge?"
