Today I'm praying for the Murray family (funeral today), Iris, Phil Knight (Nike), and Mom.
I believe with absolute certainty that a day is coming when cell phones will be a chip and embedded in our heads, right behind the ear.
We have met Johnny-Five, the robot in Short Circuit, and he is us: Input, more input!
We crave information and quick communication.
Part of the allure of vacations is getting away from all the stuff demanding my time. But I also have to check my inbox regularly or I'll be overwhelmed with 231 messages after a weekend away.
I Twitter, blog, Facebook, MySpace, Shoutlife, Paperbackswap, Bookcrossings, text, call, write letters, and email. Whew! I'm so busy keeping in touch with everyone, it's amazing I have time to write or clean house.
Oh. I just realized I'm not very disciplined about the house thing. Slightly more so with writing. But send me a text and I'm all over it. I've been blaming myself, but really it's technology's fault.
I think when the embeddable cell phone comes along, I'll skip it. I have enough voices in my head.
