Life at the touch of a button?
I am a gadget fan. I won’t deny it, when it comes to the latest gadget I usually want to get my hands on it even if it’s just to play.
So it was no surprise when yesterday I went into my local Apple store for a browse to walk out with a new iPod Touch.
Now do I need it…well no, but did I want it, yes of course, it has everything on it I could ever want to use from checking my e-mail at the top of a mountain (as long as the wi-fi gets that far of course) to playing music and downloading photos.
However it occured to me today that while it may be a nifty little device which I will get many hours of use out of and find very useful, it is also yet another device to make us think we are communicating with one another when we are simply finding another excuse not to actually talk to one another.
There is alot to be said for sitting down and talking and listening to one another and yet we seem to be losing that one things that makes us human.
Even this blog isn’t really really talking, it’s simply an internal monologue put out there into the aether which may well reach a few of you and which may well make you think, and yet I’m not actually verbalizing this to anyone.
Perhaps one day things will come full circle and we will begin to talk again…in the meantime I have an iPod Touch to play with!
