Dr. Dave argues that access to more data and devices does not automatically create knowledge, warning that technology can consume people when they chase it for status instead of using it for a real need. He highlights Soldiers’ Angels as a way to turn verbal support into action, says Internet communities flourish when official customer service leaves a gap and credits united users with pressuring advertising software companies to respect ownership of personal computers. Through callers and listener email, he advises people to define their environment before buying, verify alarming claims with original sources and expect careful follow up instead of a rushed answer, while the continuing family truckster jokes and closing wishes capture his easy on air relationship with Evil Steve.
