Perhaps these are just for 'the elite'.

That message is..."I'm a pretentious asshole with more money than class and I expect you to treat me like a demi-god"

Message delivered. Loud and clear.

I have a lot to say about reliance of technology. I'm no Ted Kaczynski, but I could go on a pretty good tirade about how people don't talk to each other anymore (they text), and people don't drive anymore (their cars do it for them), and how people don't even see the blue sky anymore because their noses are in their phones.

A former boss of mine told me they don't even teach handwriting in her son's school.

Maybe it's not so much the technology that bothers me, but our inability to use it in moderation.
