I admit I’m a social and electronic media tard. I find the older I get, much like the old monarchs of the forest, the less new ground I wanna cover, there are fewer people I wanna meet and I’d rather crawl under the fence and get all the does than jump over and get a few.
I’m not on Face Book but if anybody else, IW for instance, wants to that’s OK. What if our great grandfathers had vowed never to use the telephone, or in THA4’s case had vowed never to paint on cave walls?
I once had a twitter account only because I had to for the disaster team I’m on. I have long since forgotten my password so I haven’t been active on twitter in well over a year, maybe even more.
I won’t sign up for Face Book because I’m a curmudgeon and I don’t have time now to get everything done that I actually need to get done. Besides I prolly couldn’t figure out how to make it work anyway and then I’d forget my password.
Along the electronically/technologically challenged thought process, my wife and I bought a new TV with a sound bar and a blue ray player (I have yet to see any blue rays come out of it, but hey, I’m a patient guy so I’ll keep watching. Maybe I have to go find a ray of blue or something? We bought it so when the kids come over they can use it. For what I’m not entirely sure).
So anyway, now we have this new TV with great sound on fiber optic (what the hell is that?) cable with this blue ray thingy which means I have to juggle 4 remotes to watch TV. How freakin silly is that? Remember the old days when you were the remote for your father? He’d just say “Get up off your butt and change it to channel 8, channel 5 is getting fuzzy”.
Oh yeah, I got this thing in the mail yesterday, you know, actually delivered to the house in a real envelope, that is supposed to hook up my TV to the internet, yeah, what are the chances I’ll actually get that thing to work? The cat has a better chance of me feeding it today than me getting the TV/internet thing workin. Hey, maybe Al Gore will come to my house to set the TV up for internet because he invented the internet so he should be able to make my TV work on the internet, right?
