About that new remote control, that new tv, a new phone, the new computer.
Whatever happened to just pen and paper?
I'm trying to get used to keeping all my data in my Ipad, but somehow it's just not the same and seeing everything across the page. Now I have to search, touch, click,slide, tap just to find yesterdays details. And hope this battery stays up and I don't lose my internet connection while I upload all my daily details.
I miss the good old days....
When everyone was 'present' to talk to each other, when no one was pushed by a bell, a ding, a knock, a tinkling sound, ringing and clanging noises of an outside world pushing in every single minute.
I remember when we thought technology was great and how it would help us all be better. Now I think it's controlling all of us.
Take this very post for instance.... I'm typing and suddenly half of what I've written is gone! It's too time consuming to go back and reconstruct everything I had just written, not to mention maddening. So I'll leave it as is.... but it's not what I like.
I think I'll just go back to regular paper and pen.... if it's a little longer at least I'll have it in black and white., instead of a hard drive, or a wishy washy internet, or some odd instance that ate my data out of the blue. ACK!
I'd rather see people's eyes on the road instead of on their phones.
I'd rather talk to someone without ear buds and white strings hanging from their ears.
I'd rather NOT have to learn all sorts of useless information just to use the phone or the remote control.
I miss the good old days. It shows my age.... but who cares. I don't enjoy dropped calls, running out of battery, or suddenly losing all my names and addresses!
In some ways technology has made our lives harder not easier, don't you agree?
