Grunty teen texted me from his bedroom asking if I could put
a piece of toast on for him so he could
have an extra three minutes sleep. I was texting out a furious reply when I realized what I was doing. I was
texting! What’s happened to me? (therapy and medication are helping, somewhat). I yelled at him to get his sorry
butt into the kitchen and make his own toast!
Instead of phoning a friend on her birthday, I wished her
happiness on Facebook, sent an email and thought back to when me and Fred Flintstone grew up, and there wasn’t
the technology around today. I miss hearing human voices who aren’t trying to
convince me I owe the IRS millions and a bailiff
is coming to my house (bring it). Someone wanting
to sell me solar. I phoned my friend, and
we chatted for ages. Dissed our kids,
complained about our husbands and lamented the fact
we haven’t won Powerball. We laughed, smiled and hung up with a promise to keep
phoning. All without an emoji in sight.
A beautiful handwritten Christmas card landing in my mailbox
instead of an electronic one. I too have been guilty of this. But the line at
the Post Office will be huge? I’ll have to get out of sweats and look somewhat
decent and go into a shop, so people don’t turn to stone when they see me. Medusa
and I are quite tight, just quietly. A Christmas card with thoughts from across
the miles landed in my mailbox, and the delight of opening it, checking out the
Snoopy stamp, reading the heartfelt message means I’m returning the favor to
everyone. I am showered, there are no visible snakes in my hair, and I’m off to the post office. If I’m
not back in a week send a search party, please. 
Hi Hayson
ReplyDeleteLife is getting thst way isn't it I still send Christmas Cards by post and yes there was a queue when I went as well but I really don't like shopping �� but did make the effort and went to the shops instead of online hugs
Have Fun
Helen
Thanks for stopping by Helen. I made it through the post office queue! Everything has been posted. I must confess to being an online junkie. The thought of trying to find a parking spot at this time of the year makes me feel tired before I've got there. Love and hugs. Hayson x
DeleteThe world has become a 'global village'. This oxymoron is because of the immense contribution of the internet and the way it has been able to successfully bring the globe together in a village like community. The term 'Global Village' was coined in 1970s by the great visionary Marshall McLuhan. This has been converted into reality by the growth of the internet technology and its continuing trend. Before delving deep into the stats, one can easily count the benefits of the internet in the field of transportation, communication, entertainment, medical science, education, research and development, logistics and many more. The growth of internet has been exemplary over the last couple of decades. It is already documented and speaks volume about how this technology has penetrated into the lives of the masses all over the globe. spyfone

ReplyDeleteSay the words "technology management", and some people have a look of puzzlement on their faces - they have no idea what the term means. Basically, technology management follows the same course as other strategies applied in the workplace in order to further the success and sustainability of a company or organization: Planning, organizing, staffing, implementing and monitoring/evaluation. The one difference is that in technology management, you add the "technology" factor to the mix. best xmind competitor
