dont you just hate when your internet breaks down. it turns into the end of the world and you cant function properly. i dont know when i became such an addict. this week the modem in my house just went haywire so i was left to combat the world without a connection. i was checking my emails at the mac store on my lunch breaks and maxing the data on my blackberry. being out of touch with this fast pace of our electronically run world is just exhausting.
and then there is my dad who doesnt know how to turn on a computer and doesnt really care to learn. he has a pc on his desk, its just for show. he also has an email that he has no idea how to access (i believe its forwarded to someone else). he doesnt have an answering machine on his cell phone and who even knows what would happen if someone sent him a text. he is by no means out of touch with reality, he has just decided to remain unfazed by all the buzz and you know what, im kind of jealous.
one thing is for certain. although our lives have become seemingly more simple by use of skype, email, bbm and so on...we have lost touch with the reality of face to face contact or even voice to voice. i long for the day when my phone wasnt glued to my hip or when it didnt matter if i recieved a text and didnt reply within five minutes. im by no means going to revert to any old school ways and pick up a pager at staples, if they even exist anymore. i just think were all getting too attached, a little too plugged in. maybe ill leave my phone on silent this afternoon just to prove a point.
