Computer Days
Digital cameras are fun, you can post all kind of useless pictures to
a webpage almost instantly! Anyway, I came home a tad early today to
work at home and realized when I stood back from the desk for a minute and realized what a life we lead.. computers everywhere and 3 of them on the desk
at the same time! Wireless internet so we can be lazy and not even
plug in a cord or sit at the desk to compute. We make most of our
phone calls from a cell phone, use google to lookup phone numbers, and
use email as a primary correspondance method between friends.
It even goes further than that, the computer is our primary source of
entertainment (well when I'm not drinking beers or hanging out with
friends). When I've got a minute inbetween fiddle practice and cooking
fancy meals I often turn to the web for a quick laugh at
homestarrunner.com or the latest Jon Stewart video clip, TV doesn't
enter my thought process at all (although all computer screens in the
house are larger than our TV.. see below).
Interesting what a world we live in. And this would seem to be the
first "blog-like" post I've actually made on this blog. Good thing I'm
doing some darts with my guy-friends tonight over beers, I need a
break from all this thinking...
