Sometimes it feels like technology is speeding along like a run away train, but then I have a conversation like this and I realize we aren’t all on board.
This morning I called a local restaurant in a small Northern Colorado town to inquire as to whether they have wireless.
Telephone Conversation:
Me: “Do you have wireless?”
Them: “Um… this is a restaurant.”
Me: “Yes, I know, but do you have wireless internet?”
Them: “We are a restaurant.”
Me: “I know, but many restaurants now have wireless internet availability.”
Them: “Well this isn’t a wireless phone.”
Me: “Okay, thanks”
I think that answered the question.

I’ve sent this in to Reader’s Digest, so fingers crossed! 🙂

I love it. It makes me cringe.
Then I remember the Prime Directive and everything is OK again.

LOL! 🙂

Haha, thanks for the laugh. It’s funny because I just got stranded at the airport here in Lima for 24 hours and I met this woman at a Starbucks while picking up a Chai and getting Internet and she was talking about how as technology gets more prevalent, we become more and more dependent on it.
But then I think about the stories like this and realize, no matter how fast technology progresses, there will always be those who don’t adapt for good or bad 🙂
