How advancing technologies have altered daily habits


Problem: One thing that struck me about the readings from both Garfinkel and Berger & Luckmann was not only the emphasis on habitual behavior in place of, say, reasoned or rational action (much in the vein of Durkheim), but how much advancing technologies have altered our daily habits. From social interaction to commodity consumption, communication technologies have altered the way we talk to one another, the way we shop, the way we read/watch media, and has even changed the way we interpret geographic distances.  If we assume that these have been associated with new sets of habits, how do you think this has influenced our social construction of reality, and even more so, how does our reality differ from that of someone living in, say, the 1960s?
