Don't Blame the iPhone for You Being an Asshole

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the iPhone is not the problem here. People behaved in anti-social, instant-gratification ways before twitter. It might make it easier to scratch that itch with the help of technology and society might be more tolerant of people doing so, but I don’t see this is a slippery slope to a doomed society of info-junkies looking for that next hit.
