i was recently at a party where people were talking about facebook…most expressing how time consuming it was and how they didn’t have time to waste, blah blah blah. there was this one woman (40ish) who was especially against it, talking about how she doesn’t understand the necesity of taking the time to keep connected in that fashion. now this girl of a mere 30 pipes in and quietly says to her husband, “that lady just aged herself.” just because she thought facebook was not her thing?! i am sitting next to her and i think wtf? who are you to be so smug? so i strike up a conversation and ask her why she finds facebook so important to staying on top. she simply believes that we all need to keep up with the trend of internet “face” time. (okay i get that, dabbling in the trend is important, but do i have to spend my every waking moment keeping up? i would rather take my kid to the beach and play with buckets of sand.) so then she joked that all the people complaining simply couldn’t multi-task. her husband then added to the conversation that you can now check your emails on the toilet so basically you are lame if you can’t keep up. i explained that i don’t have a smartphone and i am not willing to take my laptop to the toilet. the smug girl replys, “well iphones are on sale for $99!” i mean really, she was serious. she thought that all my problems would be solved if i just had an iphone. and i am left, still wondering, do i have a problem??!!

Hi Mom Zombie,
I stopped by your blog and enjoyed it as well. Looks like we have some things in common – writing, bad sleep habits, love of mountains. I do feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful place, but I have to admit sometimes all the recreational possibilities get in the way of work! I am currently in the process of learning my CrackBerry, so I’ll update soon.

HI Mountain Momma:
I found you through All Mediocre and I’m so glad I did. I will live out my mountain life fantasies through your blog. (I am a flatlander who dreams of a mountain life. *sigh*) I’ve blogged recently about smart phones and how obnoxious they are making some people act. I mean, you can’t believe folks would act that way on their own. It has to be the phone doing it, right?

My sister was trying to come up with a name for her tech courses she teaches. Someone suggested “After you leave here, you won’t need your ten year old to help you anymore.”

And hahahahaha on the newspaper print pants. hahahahaha

LOL reminds me of my hubs. I am personally one of those gadgets people. He had his old phone for 4 years before I finally convnced him it was time to “upgrade”. He got another flip phone with no real bells or whistles while I got the enV. That was over a year ago. Since then I have upgraded to a SmartPhone and he just stares at me like I am an alien lol.
