I guess I should admit that I now have a regular cell phone, on a regular cell plan. I have been using a very basic prepaid. It seemed to be time to move to something fancier, given that I seem to use my phone almost daily. So I wound up with a Samsung A767 Propel. I am still sorting out what I want to use on it.
I deal with a lot more technology these days. I even use a microwave now and then, although I still don’t like the taste of food cooked in one. I use a dishwasher, although I still believe that they take longer to clean dishes than just washing them. I do as the natives do. There are times when I have regrets over all that time spent without ammenities. I still feel that I learned some useful lessons during that time. As I get older, I find I desire a little bit of comfort. And I am living in a comfortable house these days. You can’t understand how much of a time saver electricity is, unless you’ve lived without it. And so I have a bit different take on “green” technologies. I don’t mind them, but too much of what I see just seems to be a waste of money. We need alternatives, true, and I realize that they are not going to be developed unless there is a market for them. Now, it just seems to be a way to show your superiority to the “unenlightened” masses.
Well .. if Obama has his way you will soon be taxed into “green” submission!
