Musings
It seems as if no one does a journal much anymore. I guess it's too easy to facebook or twitter. Now I am in my 60's but I have kept abreast of things somewhat. But I can't keep up with things as rapidly as they are changing.
I do have a very basic cell phone so I'm barely in the 21st century but compared to those of my offspring and nieces I might as well be in the stone age. Their units are sooo much more sophisticated ....and expensive. I may be stubborn but I refuse to sign a long term contract and pay $70 or more each month. Mine costs me $15 a month. It doesn't give me all the bells and whistles but it is sufficient for my needs. I don;t begrudge the young folk their fancy phones....I just don't see how they can afford it. Oh well, they are all without other obligations so I guess that's how they do it.
The other thing that I think is a really stupid idea is 3D TV. You have to wear the glasses and then you have to keep up with them. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the remotes. The possibility of losing the glasses, breaking them, or not having enough for everyone is too high, I may be wrong, but I don't see it taking off. I'm usually wrong though. Time will tell.
That's all for now,
Be well,
Tom
