Frustrated

My life and time is not my own. Every time I try to sit and let the overflowing thoughts from my head be released on to the paper ( or in this case the computer screen) I'm always interrupted by something maybe it's the dog getting into something she's not supposed to, or maybe the phone rings, or most often the culprit is Brenden my 3 year old. In this day of electronics we constantly depend on cell phones, and ipods, nav systems and game boys, with out them we are naked, we are lost. Go back 20 years, I did not have any of these. When I left to go somewhere I used the phone attached to the wall to inform my parents I had arrived safely. If we needed directions we again used the phone attached to the wall to call where we were going and get directions which we hand wrote on paper (not printed from map quest) we listened to the radio and tapes. I remember being excited to get my first boom box which played the new latest greatest thing called CD's. It's amazing how only a few years later all of those things are obsolete. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the conveniences of having a cell phone I love listening to my ipod especially when cleaning however I don't think that this next generation has a clue how to get through the day with out all the fancy electronic gadgets and sadly my children are becoming part of this norm. When I tell Caden to go play in his room it's not long before he comes out asking to play video games or on the computer because he's bored, now Brenden wants to play on the computer all the time. Where would we be with out all this technology? Maybe life would not be as easy but I think society as a whole would be thinner and smarter from actually having to use it's brain. Ok enough venting for one day. Good night.
