So, now, I move a step further away from analog, which is the way I think all visual and audio should be presented. In this case, it's no big deal, because the TV signal is all-digital now, anyway - there's no avoiding it.
I have stated before, right here, that I think the ubiquitous, inescapable digitization of communications has, for all its benefits, actually been detrimental. Digital is like medicine that relieves symptoms of a disease, while having side-effects that, in total, are worse.
Unintended consequences.
I may be on my way to full-blown geezer-hood. I'm already hopelessly out-of-touch with anything modern in any field. I'm so old-school, I found Fred Flintstone's picture in my high school yearbook.
The only thing that saves me from being a Luddite is the fact that I'm not denying proof, and I'm living with modernity, not denying it. But I'm under no illusions that not everything that comes with progress is, well, progress. Some things, some very good things, get lost.
Change is inevitable, constant and undeniable. But it isn't always good, it doesn't automatically make things better. Some things get worse. And not because they refuse to keep up with the changes, but because they suffocate in the new environment that change produces.
I'm not a square, I think. I could be wrong about that, I would need someone to tell me (but if they did, I wouldn't care, or listen). I know people who think I'm just old and in the way.
I know I'm not cool, but my not caring may just make me cool, after all. I'm not sure that I, or anyone else cares about it.

I like the poem, too. Interestingly, I have been able to use what we talk about here with some of my patients, one in particular who is terribly disappointed that he is not in control of his life in the way he thought he was. So, thanks for the professional help.
ReplyDeletelove you both.
i was in a bad mood for most of Thursday. i wrote this down,as an expression of this dark mood,but it wasn't until later that i noticed that my mood had changed. Here it is:
ReplyDeleteWell, having to provide for this body is a pain in the ass, keeping up with the constant swing of emotions is a pain in the neck,and rationalizing all this is giving me a headache. i guess i'm fine . How are you?
i read it aloud to Denie as soon as she got settled after work. We laughed.
Ha-ha. Both of you are funny, and I love you both.
