Technology Overload....

Sometimes I think there is way too much technology floating around. Is it so hard to brush your teeth manually?

And whatever happened to old fashioned letter writing. As I can personally attest, the ubiquity of the laptop has significantly contributed to both my dislike of writing anything down and my pig shit handwriting.

Television is sucking more and more, almost to the point where I'm driven to actually listening to NPR again or my podcasts/music. Or heaven forbid, reading an actual book. Not that I hate reading, it's that because of tv my attention span is infinitesimally small. Okay well, maybe not that bad but still... Does the world really need another video game about sports? Or for playing cards? Why not just play them for real? But oh I forgot, nobody wants to knock on a neighbor's door when they can have the "convenience" of playing online.

There should be a huge farm somewhere where you can go to just "get off the grid": no electricity or advanced technology of any kind. You know, to just sort of get used to the fact that eventually all this "high technology" is gonna end one way or another. Just as a side note, I wonder how quickly American society would devolve if that ever happened?

Well, i'm off to go dig my end of the world bunker now ....
