Ahhhh, We love having a crotchety old man around!
I do agree that technology has gone from necessary to excessive.
I am all for simple. Gimme a phone that does not switch to "emergency calls only" mode when I am anywhere in the city of Irvine, and I am happy. Heck, I'd still have a landline if I didn't worry about emergencies like car break downs (I have a cell only because it's too expensive to have both). Back in high school, way before cell phones, we used to meet with friends at DL without any problems. Meet at ___________ location, at _________ time. If we are not there the next meeting time is __________. It always worked out.
Technology is cool, and makes our lives easier most of the time. But, when it is buggy, geez-oh-man! We forget how to manage.
Without Mother Necessity, where would we be...
