The dawn of the Smart Phone Over lords
I am writing my first of many blogs from a smart phone. I have since learned how really unsnarl these. Devices are. They don't fool me. I have darn neat threaten to kidnap the darn devices whole filter in order to get it to respond half the time. I digress. I have tried writing posts on home schilling a kid, both the home school endeavor and the blogging failed. I thought about blogging about raising an ADHD kid or one like him but then I became a distracted mother to a distracted child. So now, here I am again almost two years later. I am not going to commit to any one topic for long. Instill change issues with the wind patterns. Tonight I want to blog about how insanely dependent we have become on Electronic devices. I feel it all began with the Remote control. We as a society were doing just fine until Zenith Radio Corporation unleashed the first of what would be generations of crippling dependency. This big ol wise Big Brother company decided people needed to stay on that couch and watch their TV until we were as mushy as our baked potato insides. Then came the calculator, a true brain pasifing machine, an invention I deeply love but inderstand the cost and detriment to my math knowledge. Finally, fast forward. A few decades and we have video games. Boys everywhere could pretend to partake on street gang fighting while drinking soda and eating Ding Dongs. Fast forward a few more decades and street fighting turns into zombie wars and car the theft all the while never risking jail time or Rabie bites. Now we are on the 21st Century and we not only have these potato mush remote controls and safe from Rabie bite Zombie games, we have phones that wipe our butts for us. My son takes his phone into the bathroom so I assume that is what he is doing with it?! Oh and the ADJD is cured since there is nothing more to focus on, the smart phone is a literal pacifier, an electronic pacifie. Do I worry my don will lose touch with reality? Nahhh! Because in 20 years reality will be subject to what a Smart Phone over lord deems rational.
