Technology creep

The state is trying to crack down on people texting while driving, and I am on board with that movement 100%. While driving, I have the Bluetooth activated so if anyone needs to reach me they can call me. Initially I started doing this because I was driving a nice car that I did not want to risk getting damaged in any way shape or form. However, as time has gone on I have grown to worry more about the safety of everyone in my car as well as everyone else around me. It is stupid to think that you can risk not only your life, but of those around you for a stupid text that probably says, “sup?” I am on board with this movement, and believe that it would be wise for you to do so as well.
Since I am discussing cellphones, and I suppose technology in general, let me continue ranting slightly. Too often now I find myself in front of an electronic device whether it be the computer, my phone, or the television. I am not alone in this type of behavior, and that is not a good thing. With technology creeping in on every facet of our lives, it is beginning to become difficult to know when enough is enough. Technology companies are trying to figure out new ways to strap some type of radiation spewing device onto our face or creating watches that are extensions of our phones. This is scary. All of these things that were built to simplify our lives may in fact just be taking away precious moments of our lives. I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but moments are fleeting.
Put down your phones! Look out the window. Actually, if it is not ungodly humid out, step outside! Watch a sunset, take a walk. Go do something. Live a little! Walk to the park and push your kids on the swings. If you don’t have kids, walk to the park anyway. Our society is falling into a daze.
I’m not blaming just you. I will accept some of the blame as well. Well, not too much, but some.
