Recently I’ve been posting about the way technology has been affecting our lives in a negative way. Our social interactions have suffered as a consequence of social networking, twatter, cell phones, and a myriad of other gadgets. Now science is proving me right. The study says, “Earlier this year, scientists revealed that gadgets are such an important part of our lives that we suffer withdrawal symptoms similar to a drug addict who cannot get a fix.”
I don’t know how much this scientific research cost, but I could save the Tommies a few quid with a little bit of common sense. You can do this too. Go to any busy McDonalds at noon. It doesn’t matter where the McDonalds is for the most part. You’ll see the same thing in rural areas but only to a lesser extent. What is it you’re looking for? I think you know. That’s right, people are not talking to one another, they’re texting, e-mailing, and twatting.
Yesterday I saw a fleece officer driving down the road looking at his department issued laptop; yet these are the same people who lock up teenagers for texting while driving. This morning waiting for a cup of joe I tried striking up a conversation with others in line. Short answers were all that I got and it wasn’t long before they were all texting. No one in line was under thirty. My breath doesn’t stink either.
God help us if Obama Debt Laden or some other terrorist mercenary should light off an EMP over Merica. Many people wouldn’t make it. It would be tough for me too. I’m no Davy Crockett but at least I’d not suffer internet withdrawal.
It all works out in the end. Peace out!
