Do you think its possible? Is it possible to live a life unplugged from others, from technology, from the daily reminders and distractions of work, life, and people in general? Can you see a few days when you aren't tethered to laptop, or cell phone? I can't really stand on my soapbox and condemn others for their adherence to techie devices. I'm a total sellout. I have an ipod, a cell phone and three computers. Is there a recovery group for this type of thing?
And yet, I love being connected to my family and friends. And in today's society how else can you stay connected other than through some sort of electronic communication? Email has taken over from letters; texting has replaced talking; even cell phones have a mix of both communications so that you never have to write or talk in order be connected to those you know and love. Scary, huh?
Even as I sit here and mull over my next sentence I realize that I ma throwing my thoughts and issues out the great expanse of the Internet....Cyberworld. Damn. I have totally caught the bug. Why have actual communication and sharing of ideas and thoughts when you can get online and vent to the world. More to the point, why not log on and voice your opinion without the complication of having to listen to the backlash of those who would chose to look down upon your ideas. Deep man. Deep.
I'm not sure whether I'm going for indignant or if I'm just coming off as hypocritical. I'm probably somewhere in between. I'm never just one thing or the other...I'm to lazy for that. I would rather point out what is wrong with life, society, people and wave my little fists of fury at it all.....then quietly sulk off and play with my toys. My electronic toys. Hello iPod. I suppose its easier to play the fence than to actually admit to myself that I am a whore to the electronic age, and I can't live without an email, a post, or a text a day. I feel lonely, cut-off and maybe a little lost without my computer or other electric leash.
At least I'm not writing in acronyms. LOL. GAHHHHHH!!!!
Nevermind. I tried ok?
Don't judge me....you're the one reading this ONLINE...on a computer....or for some of you even a fucking iPHONE.
