you’re hilarious!
thought….you know how we have learned so much over the years about ancient history by reading hieroglyphics left by ancient societies on walls unearthed by archeologist?
Imagine what people 200 years from know will be doing in trying to untangle the meanings of paragraphs like you just wrote! 🙂
Well played my friend!

too funny. I have done the very same thing. Then in reflection think….”how much time did I just spend trying to make that message convey my thoughts accurately?”
Something that could have been attained by just picking up the phone.
thanks for commenting

It was called “using your smart phone to make a phone call”. I sarcastically used the ways we used to communicate, all the time, as something brand new. If you think about it, there are people in our younger generation who have absolutely no experience carrying on a conversation in person, much less over the phone.

I have a niece who got into trouble with her parents recently and they took away her cell phone, for a few months. Afterwards when the phone was returned and she repented to a new life, she admitted that not having the phone, “forced” her to use the telephone at home to talk to her friends. She met a guy, whom she is still dating to this day because in order to talk, he would have to call her. She admitted she would NEVER have gotten to know him if she was using her cell the usual way.

Your blog this week is right on. I sometimes joke that the uni-bomber may very well be proven to have been somewhat accurate in his assessment that technology and computers may ruin the social fabric of our lives. What’s left to be known is whether it will be more difficult to convert the younger masses to using the ol skool way of speaking to one another or to stop the older generation from adapting the new skool way of communicating.

It is always good to read your blogs Kevin. Maybe I should give you a call today, so we can shoot the breeze and burn up some of the bosses time, kibitzing on the phone…..

It reads like it could be taken wrong or not in the correct voice I want to use.
I have received emails this way also. Those are fun.
So I retype some text , parts of the paragraph, delete sentences, I read aging and hate it even more. I call the person and they say, “Weird. I was just going to email/text you.”

It definitely builds relationships that cannot be established in an email or text.
