My love/hate relationship with technology...

 

 Go ahead, before you even read this-- 

Just call me the-  

Grinch of Technology..

I am as old fashioned as they come.. and i feel like an old granny in the whole world of technology. :)

 

tech·nol·o·gy

noun\tek-ˈnä-lə-jē\

: the use of science in industry, engineering, etc., to invent useful things or to solve problems

: a machine, piece of equipment, method, etc., that is created by technology

And the technology I'm basically referring to here would be electronic devices otherwise knows as iPhone, ipad, Nintendo, kindle, DS, even the GPS, and you know the rest (I'm not the techy one!)! 

I LOVE- How i can call my husband at any given time of the day whenever the need arises. Does he like this?? Hmmm, not sure.:)

I HATE- How people don't even know how to read maps anymore

I LOVE- How you can leave the house and then figure out what time and where you will meet up with people. 

I HATE- how people use their phones in church. Yes, i know you use it to look up references, take notes, etc. But i also have seen you on Facebook. And that just grinds me to my core. 

I LOVE- Chatting with friends across the miles. Even webcaming with them. 

I HATE- How people don't even have to communicate with the outside world or the ones they come in contact with. Step into an elevator. Don't want to make small talk with the lady beside me? Just pretend I'm tapping away, busy on the phone. 

I LOVE- When we are driving out in the middle of no where and we are hungry for Chick-fil-a so we tap away on the Iphone! And WaLAH! It tells us right where to go. 

I HATE- How people let their kids watch movies and stuff everywhere they go.. Go out to eat,, just plop that in front of them.. Hey works great for the parents, cuz they can eat in peace! But it's teaching the little munchkins what again!? ( i can't remember) Oh yeah! To stuff their nose in front of the screen and not communicate with the people around them! 

I LOVE- Letting my kids play a game once in a blue moon. They are deeply "deprived" when it comes to these electronics.

I HATE- The world of APPS! Everyone laugh out loud now... but i don't take the time for this and it all looks so overwhelming and huge.. There is an APP for everything!!!

I LOVE- blogging, reading blogs, being on Pinterest and all that other fun stuff! 

 

Oh, yes there are many more loves and plenty more hates, but I think I'm gonna stop while the going is good. :)

If you LOVE, LOVE technology then I'm happy for you and i hope you keep that love alive..

But please don't let me see you, in church, on your phone (or whatever you use!) surfing Pinterest or anything other then the Bible!!! You don't want to see my bad side! 

It's SCARY!

 Thanks for tuning in today to my humorous, but truer then true, thoughts on all this electronic stuff. 

Someday I'll probably eat my words and be a full fledged APP user. But by the time i figure that out, there will be something newer and cooler taking its place. 

Saw this and thought it was funny...
