Technology has it's ups and downs. I was not an easy convert to internet use, all that dot.com speak on television was annoying 15 years ago. Still is in regard to advertising but the internet is a neat thing. Taught me how to type. Just look at the diversity of this forum. I've avoided a smart phone even though it would be handy on the job coupled with a credit card reader. I just don't get the game thing. I do understand the desire for entertainment but the common use of cell phones that have now become common internet devices has made for quite a rude society
I grew up with the invention of video gaming. Pong anyone? LOL! We played it. Singles, doubles and the tennis version. Good grief!
You had to adjust uhf/vhf and sit in a stationary position with a short leash. Mobile? NO!
Real video games emerged when I was 12-13 with games like Pacman and Asteroids. New and fun but I still prefer a real pinball machine. It requires both hands, both eyes, both ears, and physical action to play a machine properly. I pity the thumb-scrolling generation. I do appreciate what it offers to folks with disabilities but I've got a fully functional 2nd cousin that grocery shops online. The grocery is my favorite trip of the week. Impulse purchases will bend the budget but you only live once. I'm still one to walk in to place a "to go" order at a fast food joint, I carry prescriptions to the pharmacy desk. I work alone and rarely have a lot of human interaction ( a good thing) but I seek it when and where I can. Internet smiles are fine
, real ones are far better.
JMHO...
