sanity is overrated

First bank machines to withdraw money, then pay all your bills without ever making contact with another human, than shop online, get a credit and you'll never have to go to a store. And if you do find yourself out shopping, go to Wal Mart and use the cash where there is no cashier. Just swipe your won card and off you go. And if you want to rent a movie, head to Niko video, do it all yourself. What a strange world we live in. Techonology is so rapidly changing. Get a computer or a digi cam, or an ipod, and it will be outdated in a month. I'll be honest, Im afraid of technology. Too many people sit at home, staring at computer screen, building a relationship with all of their compu-friends, while all the while neglecting their real friends. Too many people sitting at home playing their crazy role playing games,meanwhile forgetting to get out and live their real lives. Kids getting fatter and more anti-social because they dont go outside and play with their friends, they stay in and play video games, or watch satelite tv. I know technology is all great. The TVs get bigger and bigger while the cell phones get smaller and smaller. You cant go anywhere anymore without hearing cell phones ringing, no one ever knows if its them ringing or somebody else.
I guess this is my technolgy rant. The more sophosticated our technology becomes for the better, there is always the down side. As we are able to make better and better computers and cell phones, and cameras, think about how much more sophisticated the worlds weapons must be becoming. We have wonderful thingslike Google earth, where satelites take precise pics of almost every place on earth, and yet we cant find a way to feed the hungry people all over the world. Im just wondering how advanced our society really is.

    I blame it on Genesis 3, not technology.
