I seem to
be so disconnected
and I am
proud of that..
I do not
Tweet…
I do not
Instagram…
I do not
Text….
And I do
not own a cell phone…
See I lived
the first 50 some odd
years of my
life, not being tethered
to anyone.
Especially by phone.
and seemed
to do very well.
While
working I did have a cell phone.
But when I
retired, I gave it up. I left
it on the
table more than I had it with me.
Now the
King, it is his umbilical cord.
There was
never anything so important
it could
not wait until I got home, or
meet up
with someone. Only time I miss
one, is
when I travel alone. In case I break
down.
I do play
around on Facebook, especially
in the
winter, on a rainy day. But in the summer
I can go
all day without Facebook or even
looking at
my email.
I even go
on vacation with out them. I have
taken my
laptop with me on one of them.
But it was
to down load my pictures, in
case something
happen to my camera.
Which was
weird as it did, because for some
reason, my
camera decided to delete
all my
pictures. After my initial heart attack,
I
remembered I had downloaded the last
bunch on
the laptop.
I find it
sad, when I see people at a diner,
with each
one with their phone in their
hand, and
their fingers are running across
the keyboard..
and not talking to each other.
So sad..
and to me… disrespectful.

I have an idea that might help: allow 15 minutes for family members to "surf", check emails, etc. ring a bell to call time. Then everyone takes turns telling what they did and learned while "online". I learned a lot about my grandchildren in this manner .
Yep, Sharon, it is a great way to keep up with your grandchildren.. and learn from them. That is also why I am on Facebook.. to keep up with those out of state.
