Good morning, good Wednesday morning to be exact. I have written this Blog once this morning and watched in horror as the words began disappearing before my eyes. I fumbled for the save button. The dang computer ate my Blog. I swear I heard it burp awhile ago. So here I am, I hope I can remember my words.
What I had written about is the fact people just don't talk to each other anymore. Not face to face anyway. Everything is texting or facebook. Oh I know people still talk on the phone some. But this texting is plum getting out of hand. You can be talking to somebody and their thumb will be moving at lightening speed. Good grief I think, they have a completely;y different conversation going on with someone else. Excuse me, I am here, eye ball to eyeball with you. Talk to me. I wonder sometimes what these kids would do if their thumbs fell off. They would not know how to communicate with anyone.
When I was growing up we didn't have a phone half the time. Mom would get us one and in a couple of months it would be gone. If the choice came to food or the phone, Mom opted for for food. Most of the time if you wanted to talk to a friend you walked to their house. Yes walked. Like you went out the door, moved your feet till you came to their door. You hung out, had fun and nobody had a phone in their hand and thumb moving a hundred miles an hour
So here we are in the texting age. Nobody speaks right at each other any more. They go on facebook and spit little innuendos at their ex's. Now I like Facebook okay, but it has replaced real human contact. The social age for busy people I guess. Whats happened to just visiting with someone. Instead of going on Facebook giving them a shout out or sending a text. I guess the world has moved on and left me with my outdated, too young clothes. Black eye liner and a permnant squint as I try to see the world around me. Give me a call sometime, don't bother to text. I can't see it. I'll answer, Hello. Hello." Remember those words. But for now. I'm outta here.
