HEY!!! I'VE BEEN BUSY LATELY,SO I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TIME TO BLOG. BUT HEY THAT'S WHY I CALL THEM NOT SO DAILY REFLECTIONS!!!,LOL. SO ANYWAYS, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE AS SOCIETY ACT AS SHEEPLE,ESPECIALLY PERTAINING TO TECHNOLOGY. THERE IS THIS COMMERCIAL ON T.V I SAW THE OTHER DAY. AND IN THIS COMMERCIAL,THERE IS THIS CHILD IN A WHEELCHAIR. AND HIS MOTHER IS IN ANOTHER SCENE EXPLAINING HOW HE GOT THIS WAY. SHE GOES ON TO TELL OF THE EVENTS THAT LEAD TO HER SON'S AWFUL YET PREVENTABLE PERMANENT PHYSICAL CONDITION. AND WHAT SHE SAID ALARMED ME- SOME LADY HIT HER SON WHILE TEXTING AND DRIVING!!!! THIS COMMERCIAL TOUCHED ME A GREAT DEAL. AFTER SEEING IT, I STARTED OBSERVING DRIVERS FOR MYSELF,AS I NEVER PERCEIVED THIS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC IF YOU WILL,BUT FROM WHAT I'M SEEING,IT IS!!! WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW WE GOT THIS WAY. BEFORE CELL PHONES BECAME WIDELY AVAILABLE,WHAT DID WE DO? WE CALLED THE OTHER PARTY ON OUR HOUSE PHONE TO LET THEM KNOW WE WERE ON OUR WAY. BEFORE TEXTING, ANY BUSINESS WE HAD COULD WAIT!!! HOW COULD AN INVENTION THAT IS SUPPOSE TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF SOCEITY ACTUALLY BE DANGEROUS? HOW CAN A DEVICE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO LET YOUR FAMILY KNOW YOU ARE OKAY WHEN TRAVELING OR CALL THE POLICE AT A WHIM IF DANGER IS NEAR, BE THE CAUSE OF LIVES BEING TAKEN? LIVES BEING DESTROYED. HOW PEOPLE? WHY PEOPLE? IT SEEMS THAT WE,SOCEITY, ARE BECOMING SLAVES TO TECHNOLOGY !!! NO MATTER HOW ADVANCED WE GET,WE SHOULD ALWAYS USE BETTER JUDGEMENT. NO MATTER HOW MUCH TECHNOLOGY BECOMES AVAILABLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE,WE MUST ALWAYS USE OUR OWN MINDS-AND NOT BECOME AS SLEEPY SHEEP!!
