Evolution. Just random thoughts in no particular order....
Sometimes I feel that the more technologically advanced we get....the more socially inept we become.
It seems to me that everyone is "into" their technology. Gone are the days of politeness, eye contact and patience. People may seem to know more in their head, but lack social inter-activeness. Kids are allowed to be rude to both each other and adults because they are texting or playing a game. That is just plain ignorant in my opinion.
Here's a random thought.... Are we somehow subconsciously manifesting what seems to be an "Autism Epidemic"? Think about it. As a society, we rarely communicate verbally any longer. Everything is email, text, etc. So why are we so concerned, or even surprised that these kids do not talk? This is evolution at it's worst.
I have encountered so many young people lately that are searching for simple validation. They so are in need of a hug. They either don't know how to ask for one, or even worse, how to accept one. It is so awkward and unnatural for them. I find this truly sad.
Think about this. We have indeed become half computer and half human. Just because it is not physically implanted within our body makes it no less true.....it's still attached to our every move. And if this is the case, then it is within reason to believe that these half human half computer beings have indeed found a way to procreate.
Am I the only one that is bothered when I say hello to someone and they either don't hear me, or if they do, they scrunch up their face like I am bothering them and say "WHAT?!?".
So here we go...
Hats off at the table. Shirts on.
Television, cell phones, electronic devices of all kinds get shut off, muted and ignored while having any type of interaction with another human being standing right in front of you!
Pull up your pants and look me in the eye! Not because I am a woman. Not because I am older. But because I am a human being and deserve respect.
Acknowledge me because I wish to validate YOU!
