Is it just me, or has the world changed a great deal in the last few years? Most of these changes have come to us wrapped in new technologies. As all my gentle readers know - I am not a tech savvy kind of individual. Until only recently I believed that Facebook had something to do with a book. Wrong as a geezer can get. Kicking and screaming I am just trying to keep my head above the deluge of too much information.
When I recently traveled to Atlanta to visit my grandchildren, I noticed that my fellow airline passengers were all looking down. Row after row of chairs at the gate were filled with faceless people. I could only see the tops of their heads as they bent over their “devices.” I swear some young people haven’t looked up in years.
I noticed that this excessive screen time has taken over the practice of talking to the person in the seat next to you, or even calling your mom (you can text, twitter or tweet... then you don’t have to listen to your Mom’s stories about when you were little... which go on forever). Saves time I guess.
