The Internet experience

I hate the internet, I know I am actually using it as I speak but I hate it with a deep, roiling, nauseating passionate loathing... I have recently begun entertaining the idea of getting a Telus Air Stick.  The determining factor will be whether we can get a signal from the microwave tower at Sangudo.   Apparently you have to live within it's shadow to actually get a signal... hmmmmm let's think about that for a moment... fry what little brains god gave you living under a microwave tower or deal with the brain sucking tedium of a dial up connection.

I have even contemplated giving up satellite technology... cell phones, internet, satellite Tv etccc.... Life was a lot simpler before we became permanantly connected with the technological umbilical cord... I mean MY GOD, what did people do before cell phones, texting and blackberries....

I have a pretty good idea....we had a lot less heart attacks, stress and traffic accidents.
I recently witnessed a 30's something couple with two kids in a restaurant, they were seated and before they could even open the menu the guys cell rang...he talked briefly and hung up...two minutes later it rang again...this time he stepped out side....he came back in just before the food arrived...filled his plate and it rang again, he stepped outside and was gone so long this time...the waitress kept trying to take the food away and box it up and he hadn't even eaten yet....meanwhile his long suffering wife...who apparently had her cellphone off...had to sit and deal with her two over stimulated kids order thier food, eat it and then sit there waiting for him to come .... in my world, that would never happen....I would have reached over the second time the phone rang and turned it off..

I think all cell phones should be turned off not just in theatres but restaurants... because I know for sure I don't want to have to hear them ringing while I am eating or listen to someone talking overly loud so he can be heard about some realestate deal he is working on...  Shut your GOD DAMNED phones off people...trust me the world will not grind to a halt if you do....

Texting....OMG, don't get me started on texting.... all I have to say is WHAT THE HELL IS SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY 5 CENTS PER WORD TO SAY..... young people sitting in the same vehicle texting each other rather than talk....a thousand years from now the human species will have evolved to the point of not having voices if we don't keep verbally communicating.
