The technologically disadvantaged life.
As convenient as my phone is as a back up internet source, I really do get
sick of looking at a small screen and miniature versions of websites trying to
carter to limiting data plans with their mobile only sites. The sites geared towards these plans leave out
a lot of information as well as products for when I am shopping online. How I would love to zoom in on an item on a
15" screen more often and type with two hands to the tune of 60+ WPM
instead of finger tapping a mere 20 WPM!
These truly are the days of everything going electronic and touch
screen. Welcome to the future! Well, the present... which I have never been
scared of. I have embraced our technological leaps and bounds with open arms and a curiosity to learn. There have been triumphs, disasters, blue
screens and huge smiles as the newest and latest gadget manages to occupy my
mind. With that being said, I found
myself a little dumbfounded with my thoughts as I suddenly became offended that
my children are growing up in this world where we learn on computer screens,
clicking the next button and refresh instead of reading books and turning pages
with our fingers. I want my children to
learn like we did in the good ol' days, by using the Dewey decimal system to
find the complete set of 15 year old Encyclopedia Britannica; searching in
alphabetical order for their topic.
Maybe this is just me getting a little nostalgic?
Aside from reminiscing, I sit at the table this morning with much on my
mind. My honey has gone for the morning
to dispatch, and I am left here to wait for his return so I can take the car
out to go do my girly errands, like grocery shop and relax with a manicure and
triple shot mocha frappuccino.
On this day I decided to make more of an effort to maintain my blog. Too often I feel the urge to let my fingers
bang away at the keys, but get discouraged as I feel no one tunes in to my
jibba-jabba. I have to remind myself
that this is an outlet for me, and if there is an audience to share my
thoughts, then wonderful! If not, my
desire to type has at least been fulfilled, and at this point to feel satisfied
with something that I have done is remarkable.
