No, however I had not expected to be living in a conventional home with a mob of kids either.
In a way, this feels similar to the reams of letters that flew across this country between my mother and myself nearly 30 years ago... She's dead now.... This electronic scribe is a clear reminder that sometimes it's in the savouring and waiting that enjoyment comes, not the instant quick fix. |

...think that you would be at a computer screen responding to sh!t like this?  It was my fondest wish to be doing this some day. Perhaps, you're an exception. Do you drink chocolate milk by chance?  Im drinking it right now

...think that you would be at a computer screen responding to sh!t like this? Yes, but I thought the people on the other end of the screen would be somewhat more literate....! (Not to mention compatible.) That's unfortunate, Lex. Perhaps, you should lower your expectations. I did. I was married. And I saw where THAT got me.... |

No, but my 'wildest dreams' have taken a lot of different turns I would have never imagined.

Before I had a computer, I pretty much hated them. I felt that despite the fact that information was readily available, people were becoming too complacent and lazy to walk across the room to the file cabinet. I was "anti-computer" for a very long time. Then, I finally bought one, not because I really wanted one, but because it had gotten to the point where virtually nothing could be done without one. Granted, I love the idea of having "the world at my fingertips", but I still think they are taking over everything and society is relying on them too much. People have come to fashion life around them now. If a company's computers go down, everybody has forgotten how to use a pen and paper, and they lose their friggin' minds. So much is relied upon by computers these days, and they just keep getting bigger, with more capacity for this, and more capability to do that, and more, more, more. Pride always comes before a fall, and I personally think they (computers) could very well become civilization's downfall. An old cowboy/engineer professor, in college, instructed classes on manual drafting and also in mechanical design and computer design. His partner, a civil engineer/professor, was similarly cautious about reliance upon computers alone. Being the eldest student (I was 39), the two professors and I compared slide rules and other old-fashioned tools. Young students mostly scoffed about such things, but these men owned/operated businesses. They told the students that a single blast of solar radiation could ruin the whole electronic society, and that competency with manual tools needed to be proven before a job interview would be granted. I can only hope that the Dean of Faculty continues to recruit wise people as professors. |
