Steve jobs and ‘his selfish society of iii’. How our iPhones are damaging society.

Today’s Telegraph contains a report on a speech given by  the Chief Rabbi.  Speaking at an interfaith reception, Lord Sacks argued that Steve Jobs has helped create a culture of unhappiness.

‘If you haven’t got a fourth generation iPhone, the consumer society is in fact the most efficient mechanism ever devised for the creation and distribution of unhappiness.’

Since joining the world of twitter and blogging I have to say I have been a little surprised at just how many posts and tweets by church pastors and planters have obsessed with the latest iGadget.  Maybe the Chief Rabbi has something to teach us all.
