Writing at 70 mph

Chapter 164

It may sound like from the previous chapter, like I am anti-technology, or anti-leisure, or some nonsense like that. That simply isn’t true. I am currently “writing“ this blog, while driving down the interstate at 70 miles an hour. And you should be pleased to know that I am not actually writing, but instead I am dictating to my phone, these thoughts, and my little computer writes them down on the screen. And saves them. So that I can edit them later.

I also just texted my daughter who is somewhere out in front of me on the same highway. Without ever touching the screen. She texted me her plans to stop at Chick-fil-A in Harrisonburg Virginia. I have no desire to stop at Chick-fil-A in any city, so I tapped on my earpiece twice, and sent her a reply. I informed her hands-free, that I had already stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts and got myself two extra large coffee’s. While I may need to stop in Harrisonburg Virginia to use the boys room, I do not want or need Chick-fil-A.

The fascinating thing about this, is that I can do my work all day long, and never actually touch the screen, instead directing all the actions that I desire with voice commands. So please understand that I am pro technology! I am just anti-use of technology for mindless blather. I am against just stupid non-cognitive time wasting.

If you’re going to use technology to be productive and accomplish something important, by all means go to it! Change the world! Matter! Do something incredible! Create something new! Solve a problem! Make this a better place for everyone! And if technology helps you do it then Gungho!
