Shut off the internet in your house/flat - Watch everyone inside panic. Count the seconds it takes
"Hey, is anyone else's internet off?"
In an earthquake, we find ourselves crippled as everything is not delivered to our house without power.
Technology is a necessary advancement owing to human avarice... It's good to keep up, but not over rely, and make sure you can still operate in a world without the comforts to which we are accustomed
i've spent most of the past 10 years playing computer games for hours a day, but now see a much different view on life and am enjoying myself alot more.
Thanks god you are not Bieber/Friday generation :)) you can watch my posts and listen some 60's psychedelic generation of beatincs! You can stary listening this, buy guitar and have a fun my friend!
I think we're called the google generation now. Haha. I have a post coming up tomorrow about an author I spoke with in one of my classes today. He wrote a book about how the internet is reshaping our minds.
Second - in your info you list that you like Video Games... how different are you from those you hate? Just curious
Third - After 4 years teaching in public education... I agree we are doomed, but at least I can play angry birds on my iPhone and be constantly entertained until the end of humanity :) (PS I hate angry birds)
@Apes well I’m a hypocrite, with that said I wanted to make a point that we are more or less depending on technology. I still do love the things that it brings to the table. Just that we don't need to use it constantly, and think before we say something stupid.
Kids these days are retarded. I've worked with kids for the last 10 years, and they get more and more retarded with each year passing. Too much state money goes into public schools, and for what? These retarded asses that have no other purpose in life other than lining Steve Jobs' pockets. Teacher's can only do so much, sure a lot of them don't do as much as they ought to, but from what I've seen parents are lazy. Start expelling useless kids from the system and then maybe the parents might start taking an interest once they realize they got to come up with the cash to pay someone off to babysit their little assholes all day. It's a shame really, the few kids that are truly interested in school and would be beneficial to society are completely ignored in order to corral the trouble makers.
Yeah, I turn the router off in my house sometimes and within 5 seconds someones going WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FUCKING INTERNET? Sure, I may use it every day, but it's only because it's here. Power went out for two weeks last year and by the end of the two week stretch, most of my friends were nervous wrecks. Irritable, sleepless, angry, wouldn't do anything. I was fine, whatever. I did alot of reading. Kids anymore just don't seem to care. This is what Liberals have done to our nation.
I suppose I fall under Pessimist. I certainly work in the electronics field, but I don't think those would be even near the MIDDLE of a very long list of things I would take to an island.
Well that's the problem, they should be smart enough to think on their feet. "Hmm, me, an island, gotta survive...I know! A Swiss Army Knife!" When I was a kid a Swiss Army Knife was a right of passage, now its an iPod. The day my kid asks me for an iPod instead of a Swiss army Knife is the day I fail as a parent.
P.S. Meistro, thanks for updating your profile, I couldn't find your blog without a link or reference to it. I hope you didn't think I had abandoned interest in your blog :)
You actually sound a lot like my father when I was a kid, Me and my sister where always out in the woods on adventures, making stuff out of twigs and what not. we actually got us stuff like a Swiss knife! I'm glad that I know how to do shit, so if I ever decide to get kids I can teach them how to do stuff, it’s highly unlucky that I will ever get kids though, I don’t want to bring something to life in to something that’s such a mess as our world is At the moment.
im definitely a pessimist... no doubt :)

Don't be too harsh, they just say the first thing that comes to their mind.
