"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots."- Albert Einstein-
I awaken this morning with Albert Einstein quote on my mind. The reason for that quote is because I had a dream about my cell phone. I was headed to the grocery store, not realizing I left my cell phone at home. Once my shopping was done, I reached in my purse for my cell phone to call my relative to pick me up. No phone!!! My mind panic because I could not remember anyone's phone number.
Years before cell phone we were using land line phones with numbers to remember. Right now today, I still remember both my grandmother's and grandfather phone number. Have I become the generation of idiots as Albert Einstein quoted? I can answer yes to that question because I don't even know my own mother phone number. She changed from land line to cell phone and when she made the change I locked in her new number without thinking to remember the number. If I get incarcerated and wanted to make my one phone call, I don't have anyone number remembered in my head. Am I being lazy? or it's just convenient to use the cell phone system.
The dream has open my eyes that I need to pick out a number in my cell phone to remember if something should ever happen to my cell phone. There is others technology that I depend on such as the computer. I use the computer to journal my notes and daily agenda, which I use to write in a journal to keep up with notes. Did you realize that writing in school is becoming a thing of the past? I still have a personal journal because I can access it more quickly without using electronics. What if electronic's has no power? What is the backup for losing power?
In summary, I will have to stop depending on technology for everything, for the use of technology will cause my brain to be dormant. I am getting older and I need my brain to continue its artistic blood to flow.
