I realized just what they were doing: wasting time more efficiently!
That sums up how I feel about a lot, not all, but a lot of technology that I use. Now instead of only being able to waste time on a couple things, I can waste time on many more things! Technology can multiply how "productively" I waste time.
Even HN allows me to waste time more efficiently. Instead of having to hunt down new stories, I can just come to HN and check out the stories on the frontpage. Then I can move onto another site where I can waste even more time.
