William Powers wrote "Hamlet's Blackberry: A Practical Philosophy for Building A Good Life in the Digital Age" because he feared people were getting lost in their electronic worlds. Powers tells Anne Strainchamps that the challenges of our new technologies are just the latest versions of problems we've faced every time technology changes. Sooner or later, we adjust and learn better ways to use our tools. Powers favors an Internet Sabbath at his house, even for his 12 year old son.
