Did you ever wonder what would happen if we yanked the cord on everything?
When did it get all so complicated?
Even reading, one of my favorite pastimes is getting high tech.
I do have a thing for books. I read them all, ..well most of them. I was using the library quite a bit but after supporting the building of a new library wing with the fines I accumulated I decided it was easier to buy than to borrow.
After a year or two the books started to breed in my basement, and closets and when we moved it became evident I had a problem.
So I became a library partron again.
I then got the notion that I could be earth friendly, space friendly and still have all the books I wanted if I got a Kindlle or a Nook e-reader.
I was just about to take the plunge when the I-pad came out and my techy friend said..no wait until this other thing comes out with even newer technology and you’ll be all set.
HELP
My desire to be “green” and make the techno leap vanished. I found a favorite book and leafed through the pages wistfully.
I yearned for simplicity. So I decided to go for a run. This should be easy and simple. I wish…this is how it played out..
Put on running clothes and shoes. Walk outside, check the weather, back inside. Oh wait need my phone for safety, need my running pouch ( spi belt..love it) Garmin running watch for time, speed, distance. Need to turn it on so it can find the satellite. Water, do I need water? Music..where’s my IPOD. Uh oh, Garmin is set for biking, need to set it for running. Looking for my ear phones, bathroom break. Find hat and sunglasses….40 minutes later I go running.
Sigh..so much for simplicity
My techy friend read this and claimed the “simple” solution was to get an I-phone.
ARGHHHHH
Think I will just go put on my PF Flyers so I can run faster and jump higher..maybe I can jump back in time?
Anyone with me??
