Everything Beeps!

I am pro technology.

I think it helps ease things up, but only to some extent.
What I do not like about it though is the commitment it puts on us.
I think technology is stranding me.
A mobile phone I have to answer. A text I have to reply to. BBN or whatever kids call it these days. Emails I got to keep track of and follow up with. This is not right. I put all my equipment/accessories on silent for the most part. Unfortunately, where ever I decide to roam I have to answer to someone. I have no "me" time anymore!
I am sitting there meditating then something vibrates!
Modern society is putting so much pressure on me!
I am just as flexible as the next guy, but being easily reached is impossible!
It is like you have no reason for not answering! And on top of that, people do not know when to stop!
I am not liking technology. I think it invades my privacy! One more thing, people think they own the right to tell you not to live without it!
As soon as I decide to not use a phone for a specific amount of time all hell breaks loose!
Family, friends, work, and others too!
I think this comes out of selfishness!
Why do you not want me to loose my phone? Because maybe I need you!
Well my friends FUCK YOU ALL!
I have decided to not use any means of modern communication and/or technology this includes TV too for a whole month!
Starting: Soon.
And to the people who think I cannot do it, wanna bet?

Soo . . . .have you started yet?

Here is the good thing. YOU are the one in control, not the technology. You get to decide which calls you answer, which SMS's you ignore.

If people complain, just throw up your hands and give them that big Kuwaiti grin and say "I'm hopeless!" Soon, they stop calling so often, they waste less of your time sms'ing. Even e-mails can be deleted. YOU get to choose. :-)
