Do You Know What Time It Is?

I don’t want books to go away-even if they are replaced by little computers you can carry around with no effort and will fit anywhere.

My fear is if books, real books, go away so will the writers.

Point: Have you noticed if a movie isn’t a retread it’s based on a computer game and ‘reality shows’ are based on another reality show  that came out a month ago?

And in some cases if you see a movie trailer you’ve seen the movie?

Before e-mail became all the rage I had Pen Pals and I wrote letters. Some of those letters took days to write in some cases. Now I send comments on facebook and most of my e-mails are less than a hundred words because I’ve been told- who has the time to read a letter?

Writers are not being replaced, we are becoming obsolete.

I figure that one day you’ll just jam something into your ear and a voice at the other end will tell you what to see and  think and …oh wait…

One thought on “Do You Know What Time It Is?

  1. scary isn’t it …. there has been much talk here about allowing kids to use computers to do their exams on instead of writing with pen and paper … the slippery slope seems to be steepening daily 😦
