  • What Borgmann is proposing here the Desert Fathers would have called
    ascesis—the willingness to embrace suffering and the mundane demands of
    the encumbered life, the willingness to forfeit comfort. In an era of pervasive
    technology, there will be no faith, no reverence, and ultimately no true
    fulfillment without ascesis, voluntary withdrawal from technology's effortless
    pleasures. Even our most technologically immersed contemporaries sense this—woe
    to the suitor having dinner with his beloved, or the vice president making a
    presentation to her CEO, who stops to answer a cell phone call.
    • This is the propsed solution to the pull of technology; voluntary suffering by opting out of certain conveniences. - on 2009-03-05
