Uptight with technology
When it comes to technology people today seem to have it made. Nowadays an entire librarys worth of information can be available as close as your cell phone. The modern mindset is that without the internet, a cell phone, or television life is unlivable. But not everyone is clamoring to get the latest gadgets. Luddites need new technology like a vegan needs a porterhouse. By boycotting the high-tech these folks give new meaning to keeping it real.

" I like big butts and I cannot lie." This phrase, coined by the incomparable Sir Mix-A-Lot in the early '90s, has become a lot more than just a song lyric. It has evolved into a cultural phenomenon. Since voluptuous stars like Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Jessica Alba have taken over Hollywood, it seems like having a "phat" ass is no longer a bad thing: big butts are must-have items.
