So I finally succumbed and got what is called a "smart" phone...
I must profess... it seems to be a bit smarter than me, as it has taken at least two days to figure it out!
So this little 'mini' computer, hiding behind the pretense of being a cellphone... Really!? I mean who calls anyone anymore? Isn't it a text, a FB status update, a 'Check-In', or other "non-social" thing?
The biggest social change that we as humans have experienced... is the non-socialiazation of life!
Do you know your next door neighbor? How about those across the street? Know anyone a street over? Ahh.. a memory of being inducted into the "Kathy Street" family... movie nights, house sitting, dog watching... Another memory of growing up on "Pecos Lane" and the 'community' pool we had, firewood, oh... and those dust storms...
It seems to me, and this is only my opinion, that living has become very complicated! I must be getting old. As I am remembering a time when things were different. I understand that progress must be made, but is it a steamroller effect? Should we just let go of everything that is 'updated' and embrace the new? What about the old?
I know how to tie a few knots... I'll give you some rope... can you tie the same?
BTW... I saw that there is an app for this... point made!
