Thoughts on Technology

Now,

It is way too damn easy.
How are women (or those who take on the female gender role if you choose to do so) suppossed to keep standards? How are we to know what is good and bad when the art of courting has been watered down to nothing but a mere text message and a large popcorn at a romantic comedy. Is that suppossed to be sufficient? I am fully aware that the topic of chivalry has been discussed time and time again, but I would have to agree that chivalry is GONE mothafuggas....GOWN! Who's fault is it? It's technology's fault.
I'm sure that back in the day when we were running around loined and uncombed, there were lazy males out there who didn't do shit but sit around waiting for a saber-tooth to die instead of killing the beast themselves. AND I am sure that the ones who weren't deadbeats actually carried things for their significant others while they went on their nomadic adventures. But then came the wheel. And suddenly we had all these cave men rolling shit around--and shit just got too easy. I'm sure the cavemen I'm talking about aren't as refined as the ones who work for Geico, but even they have become victims of technology. Cavemen used to have to stand next to cave women in order for them to pick up their scent. Now, with the wheel, cavemen could rub their genitalia on the wheel and roll it down a hill for all the females to smell. The cavewomen would then leave their scent on the wheel and send it back. Anthropologists say this was an ancient form of text messaging.

Of course I am being facicious, but these "ttyls" and "lols" and "lmaos" are overused. They water down raw, human emotion into something that can be represented in an abbreviation. Males seem to think that texting is sinonmous to calling, and that calling is sinonmous with "time spent". And sadly, males think that spending time with a female is predicating some sort of wifing. And we all know that many males are not looking to wife.

Technology has served as a stiff arm for females to become complacent with having phantom boyfriends. Ones they can hear but can't see. Ones they are feeling, but can't feel. Men they know, but can't trust. So i say eff you, technology! You have destroyed the art of human interaction as we know it!

(i still dig blogs though)
