By limiting your exposure to tech-savvy blogs I doubt you will get a very
critical look at tech-savviness and what it has to offer.  From the
prospective of someone more interested in general intelligence and
mindfulness then in what "tech-savvy" has come to mean, I see a lower
correlation with the higher intelligences than I would have expected, and
much less to offer than it thinks. The word "hubris" keeps coming to mind.

Popular thing to say here?  ;)
