Okay, if you have been to our Blog page before and couldn't figure it out, you're not alone. I couldn't figure it out and I created it!? So, hopefully this one powered by Google will be more beneficial to all of us and you'll feel more comfortable jumping into the mix and speaking your mind.
As for Technology, it's a wonderful thing when it comes to being able to sit down at a computer and search for just about anything that comes to mind, shop for something and have it delivered with a click of the mouse - I do it all the time. Face it, I have no life, I'm in the office constantly!?
But I must admit, the love relationship I see between people and their cell phones still baffles me. What could they possibly be staring at ALL the time? I mean CONSTANTLY. No one looks at anyone anymore while walking down the street, especially if they are part of the 'X' generation (or whatever they are calling themselves these days). They are too busy fondling their phones and running their fingers all over it. While driving, all I see are people trying to juggle their phones AND keep an eye on the road. I can always tell when I'm behind someone either trying to text or make a call - they are zigzagging in and out of the lane, and it makes me crazy.
Have we lost the ability to physically communicate with each other via a smile.. or the spoken word? I'm sorry, but texting doesn't count, okay!? It took me forever to even get a phone with text capability, so yes now I do use it, but definitely not while I'm driving. In fact, my phone generally remains in my handbag while I'm in the car and if it rings... I let it go to voicemail. Nothing can be that important that it can't wait until I reach my destination. Remember a time when all you had was a home phone and if someone called and you weren't there? That's right - they called you back later. Or when we started getting technologically advanced, they left a message on your... answering machine! Remember those?? Holy Cow, I still remember when TV was free! But I won't even get started on that.
For now, how bout just giving yourself and the cell phone a rest... the world won't come to an end if you just put it down, and walk away for a little while. We'll all still be here when you get back... with a special ring tone...and a text message.
Enjoy your week!
I hear where you’re coming from and, for the most part, I agree with all points… But, let’s explore why it is what it is.
ReplyDeletePeople, regardless of age or gender have no soles. They all have been sucked up by this entity, this living, life sucking creature called… wait for it…. Wait for it…. LCD!
That’s right! A few decades ago aliens landed on this planet, saw that there was no intelligent life, and dropped off their nemesis. It almost completely ruined their population, drained all life from their thinking and reasoning adults -- as well, virtually lobotomized their once frolicking and empathetic yout’s.
So, they left the LCD here and figured what would be the worst that could happen to this tiny Blue Marble, encumbered with self indulged, warring, and greed oriented species. And for good measure, they also left two other embryos; one called plasma and the other, which was LCD’s younger brother, LED.
The rest of the story is as it is…
