Remember when kids actually played OUTSIDE? With balls and sticks and threw rocks and got in innocent trouble? Remember when you only had 1, maybe 2 phones in your whole house? No cell phones. And a VCR the size of your car? With a microwave even bigger? When the most exciting technology out there was Pong? When you took a Computer Class in high school and thought it was a fad and the class would be real easy to pass? (like learning to balance your checkbook in Home Ec Class. You figured you’d never need to know how to do that when you became an adult) Have I totally turned into a maw maw or am I the only one sick of all this technology??!!! It is making our kids never leave the house and become fat asses. As I am blogging about this now, I realize blogging is actually part of all this!!! Obviously there are some positive things to technology. You can go several days without actually having to speak with the someone. You can text or email them. I enjoy this aspect when dealing with big wigs here at work or my boss. Or any debt collectors. I also have good luck with on-line shopping. While I’m at work of course. Technology does allow you to multi-task and get more done quicker. It also fries my brain at the same time. I beleive anyone over the age of 40 on Myspace who is there to flirt with young chicks is a loser. At least move over to facebook for peeps your own age! And any teenage girl who takes a naked pic of herself and emails it or texts it (they call this sexting) to her boyfriend and he promises no one else will see it, is dumb. His friends, ALL of them, his relatives, his teamates, pretty much everyone in your town is gonna see your picture. Ahhhh, the good ole poloraid. The film is ruined after you take the picture and the picture itself can not be copied or scanned into anything. Nude photos were safer back then. We must reluctantly brace technology but all remember where we came from. And kick your kids outside to play everyday! Gotta go IM, load my Ipod, make sure my bluetoothe is working and check all messages. LOL :=)

I agree. There’s way too many things out there to keep track of. Unless you have an I-phone. I too like how you can email and not talk to someone. But its not a good way to quit your job. We had a guy send in his resignation via email, then had the cajones to ask us to send him his check. Should have emailed that to him. I do alot of my on line stuff at work, especially since I have to wait forever to use the computer at home.
