Semester 4, Week 14, Day 6

I still have one study left to put in my papers and they are both due tomorrow.  I feel that clock ticking in a not-so-nice way.  I have the kids eating the first portion of breakfast.  More is cooking to get them nice and full.

As I cook, I'm listening to videos.  I listened to one just a few minutes ago which called technology an upgrade for humanity.  I had to add my commentary to the others on that one. I'd also mike to share my two cents here as well on the topic.

There was a time when people would sit in a den and talk for hours on meaningful topics.  Now, that den is a game room or a man-cave where people immerse themselves in trons that do not enrich their brains or their soul.  People sit in front of the TV instead of interacting with their family members.  People spend al day on social media talking to their friends without ever having met them to know if they are the person they say they are. Yes, some are honest, but are all? The fact that you burn more calories just SITTING than you do while watching TV is telling in what technology is doing to us.

Recently a fast food store closed down and they moved all the workers to a new location and now people are complaining about the new location.  If people are raised to live with their face in the phone, how can they learn to be good customer service representatives or even properly cook a person's meal?  We really need to rethink technology as a society and understand the ramifications of what we are doing to our children.  Love and Light!
