Ok so it has again been a while since I posted. Part of that I will readily admit is my doing. Some of it however has been as a spin off from a really “bad dream” sequence – lasting – oh — the last month. I might be inclined to go into a rant about it later, but for now on to other things.
*******************
Has anybody else noticed that since being online their spelling has deteriorated. Which really doesn’t seem to make to me, because, at least in my case most of what I search for and look at online are words. I’m ashamed to admit that in order to use two words so far in this entry I’ve had to look up a dictionary.
I think it must have something or other to do with the speed of life. Not just online but in the quasi online world of mobile phones, iPods and the like. All of this being at one time so cute and designed to progress us. Though now, I’m beginning to wonder what advancements we’ve actually made. The theory was of course that we would become this great paper-less community, that computers would streamline our lives, give us more time with the kids, or the dog, or whatever. Instead we have podcasts like this on media dieting.
One of my close friends is on something of an enforced media diet. He’s inherited second hand computers and I think has suffered as a result. Amazing how we get so technically ahead of ourselves, that our computers seem archaic after 12-18 months.
It seems centuries ago now; the days when you lived in the same house from wedding to death, where all your appliances were worth repairing and phoning en route meant pulling off from the highway and putting 20 cents in a pay phone with a big orange receiver on top and they could not call you back. Back in the days when credit cards were not a required resident in everyone’s wallet, and the only company you waited on hold for for longer that five minutes was telstra.
The really sad thing being: I am only 28 and I can remember those days.
