These anecdotes are indications that the apocalypse is upon us. Technology has always palpably changed human relationships, for better and for worse. We can imagine the closeness and joy an elderly Eastern European babushka must have felt in the early 20th century when she used a telephone for the first time, and heard the chirping words of her grandchild coming over the wire from the New World. We can lament the suburban neighborhoods that grew quiet when television held post-war children in the living room in the hours when they used to play Kick the Can. We can relax...

At one point two thugs try to kill an inconvenient tenant, a babushka-clad elderly woman, by pushing her down the stairs: we see her crash painfully down to the sound of goofy music. A few roaches rely upon annoying, boring ethnic stereotype voices; these are supposedly swept up in the broad strokes of roach world...
