FOR TEXT ME–NOT

I am glad that I’m old enough not to get in on the texting craze.  Like I need to be typing symbols and nultiple punches just to get one letter, I can barely make out the numbers on my phone!

I once upon-a-time used a pager, before this millennium, to send symbols that meant words.  It was a cute way to send a message and not have to make an actual phone call, whoopee!

I see these kids walking down the street while looking insane and punching out whatever, like the car heading right at them didn’t matter.

Once it was the sorry sorts who had their “heads up in the clouds.”  Now we have the makings of many ailments to come for these join in the crowd text messengers, with their eyes in their fingers  Blurred vision, nerve damage to fingers and what not.  Not to mention that dent they left in some cars hood.

HDTV AND ME

THE END IS COMING! THE END IS NEAR! THE DIGITAL SKY IS COMING!

I am a bit confused.

What do you mean you already know that?,

My confusion is about high definition television being forced upon us for all our own good. I know; some of us can no longer afford our own good. Now soon not to afford gas. What next? Can not afford air or watter?

What do yo mean I digressed?

Anyways.

I am curious about those high-def ads on my analogue TV, they are so pretty and clear and all, but—

I do not receive HDTV!

I find the current situation to be fine, especially when I receive such a good view from my analogue vision. Why was it I had to have HDTV again, only now not be able to afford TV anymore? Oh, I forgot. My own good.

Oh how those corporations get together to siphon all the fuel out of our lives. Thanks leaders!

Wait a second! Maybe it is all some liberal double think plot to ween us poor off of the TV and into a political movement or something.

Wow! Those do gooding liberals are sneaky!
