Has technology improved our life?
|
Has technology improved our life? I'm sitting on a recliner near a window in my bedroom, and I'm thinking about the technologies in front of me. Have they improved my life? There is this lap top, hmm we can't even begin to debate that it has improved my life. I have friends around the world that I have never seen face to face. Hey wait, what kind of friend is that? Is it genuine? Is it an improvement? Well, there is my cell phone, that most certainly has improved my life. My best friend and I can text each other all day and stay current on each others lives. In the old days, we needed to get all primped up to meet and over lunch discuss the possibilities of the day. Now, I can send hugs and kisses whenever their needed. XOXOX isn't that an improvement? Share your thoughts and examples....... "Don't count the days, make the days count" |

THERE ARE? You would never know by my recent history on this laptop. This blogging component has me hooked. Has anyone been to a mall lately? I used to go at least once a week, now I rarely go. Practically all of my shopping is done online now. "Don't count the days, make the days count"

Call me a Luddite but I think technology has not improved our lives...now, it may have may them more interesting, fun-filled, and so on, but that is not necessarily an improvement. Before central air conditioning became widespread people spent more time outside (to escape the built-up heat indoors) interacting with our neighbors and we had better social skills. Now, we don't go outside as much (but we still desire to have decks, which is an offshoot of interacting with the neighbors) because we can stay inside in the conditioned air and watch hundreds of channels of television or play video games to our hearts' content. When we do go out, we don't have to interact with people because we can wear our i-pods, bluetooth, and such. We don't read as much, we don't exercise our brains or our imaginations as much. So, I guess it depends on what you consider an improvement in your life. Before computers, you could interact with people from around the world by having pen-pals or by using broadcast radios.  AKA The Clit Whisperer.

There is a country song by Lionel Cartwright, about a kid listening to his 9V transistor radio. It's about a time when we used all of our senses and our brains. It's entitled "I Watched It All" and her are the lyrics. I had a six transistor when I was a kid Under my pillow I kept it hid When the lights went out, and no one could see Over the airwaves the world came to me I'd go through the stations 'til I found a game I knew how they played by the sounds of their names The sluggers hit homers, and those pitchers threw smoke And I watched it all on my radio At the crack of the bat, I knew how far it'd go And I watched it all on my radio I watched it all on my radio When the ballgame was over, the wrapup complete I'd search through the static 'til I found a beat The Beatles and Creedence, the Stones and the Byrds You should have seen all the groups that I heard And on Saturday night when the skies were all clear A station from Nashville sometimes would appear With steel guitars and soft Southern twang The stars of the Grand Ole Opry would sing And I had a seat on the very front row And I watched it all on my radio I watched it all on my radio And 'round about midnight some preacher came on To tell me what's right, to tell me what's wrong And there was a test at the sound of the beep 'It was only a test' the voice would repeat And the National Anthem would sing me to sleep "Don't count the days, make the days count"

Back in the days when we all stood proudly for the National Anthem. "Don't count the days, make the days count"
