Re: Robotized Humanity?
E) I don't own a cell phone.
And I never will.
My chief challenge is that everyone and everything is after bits of my time. It all gets eaten up. Cell phones and especially social media just seem to be time eaters to me. Certainly social media can be useful under some circumstances, but I don’t really need to know what that bully in grade eight is doing now.
I aspire to be the bird or the squirrel, living in the moment.
I think social media and the find-you-everywhere technology erodes individuality. It’s a herd mentality. I’m an old man early, keeping to myself, playing with my toys and reading Agatha Christie novels.
Wherever humanity is headed it is clearly going there without me.
