Got my a_s kicked again my the mighty duo. I should be used to it by now. So I'm a old technophile. Peace!

Well Joe, I don't own a smart phone either. As it turns out, I don't really have a whole lot of use for even a simple cell phone, other than letting a customer know I'm at the front door. They'll not hear the doorbell, but are constitutionally incapable of ignoring a ringing phone. I've never found the need to text anyone, and have actually made it through entire days without being in constant personal contact with someone for every second, having music pouring into my ears from a radio or digital player, or both. I don't have 73,294 "friends" on Facebook that I've never heard of and have successfully figured out for myself which way the screw turns to tighten it without posting the question on a forum or - gasp - paleolithic email list. I do, as I've said before, read, and am for the most part aware of the technology that's available in the latest shallow and sparkly toy de jour, but usually chose to waste my time and cash on different interests. It's a personal choice everyone makes. So when you see me wandering around talking to myself and looking disoriented, it's not because I'm swapping empty chit chat with invisible friends through a state of the art nearly invisible Bluetooth headset and my smarter than me phone to stave off the horrors of loneliness and my own thoughts in crowds, it's because I'm discussing amongst myself some thought or concept that originated and has so far stayed within my own head. Weird, I know, and incomprehensible to most folks. The biggest problems inherent in internal self entertainment usually relate to the rest of the world presuming as a default, that I own, use, and am minute by minute dependent on the the toys that those who own and use them constantly presume that everyone worthy of attention also owns and uses constantly. Contrary to established cliches, the road to Hell is paved with arbitrary presumptions. Before someone immediately uses the Luddite word, I'll point out that I love toys as much as anyone. I just seem to have different tastes in what qualifies. Endtrans.... As you were, Ron N -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
