We’re all doomed anyway…
Posted in: Insanity at its Best by Spider on December 04, 2008
People, let me just say that I have nothing against technology, I’m a computer geek in my own right, and advances in medicine and energy are alright with me. However, personal technology is just out of control…Blackberries, IPhones, and them goddamned blue tooth ear things really fry my cheese. Hello? How about trying a little human contact…go outside get some fresh air. There are people out there that live and breath by these little gadgets…if they lose it or god forbid it gets broken…they’re lost…I can’t email…I can’t surf the web…I can’t text…here’s an idea…use a phone…a real phone you know with wires…
Some time ago BL and I were in a local eatery having a nice dinner when a couple of youngins came in obviously on a date…they sat down across from one another and proceeded to each whip out cell phones and begin texting…they didn’t even look at each other….WTF?!
The one thing though that makes me absolutely insane…those damn blue tooth earpieces…are you sooo important that you have to be available at a moment’s notice…are you like what Jack Bauer, waiting for a call from the president. Take that fucking thing off you look like an idiot.
Okay…rant over…thanks for stopping by…y’all come back now…

Whoa, wait a second. You the people hater want human contact?? That goes against everything you believe in. I don’t even know who you are anymore.
I do agree w/ you about the Bluetooth ear pieces. I understand if you’re driving, or if you need you hands free by all means wear it. But if you’re not on the phone I hate to break it to you…but you look like an f’n idiot, and here’s another bit of news. As coll as you think you look wearing it, everyone is making fun of you behind your back. Loser!

I am 100% with you on the Bluetooth use, especially when you’re walking around in a store, looking like you’re talking to yourself because I’m standing on the side without the ear piece. But as for everyone texting when they are out to dinner, I have to share a story.
When I was visiting friends in California over Thanksgiving, we all went out to dinner one evening. The four of us were all at our table texting furiously at one point, not looking at one another. But! We *were* communicating. You see, there was this horribly obnoxious loud woman at the table immediately next to ours. We were actually texting each other–about her!! So she wouldn’t hear us talking about how annoying she was & how bad we felt for her husband as she nagged him for the whole restaurant to witness. And we couldn’t look at each other or we would have busted up laughing.
