Technology is winning…

Does one know when they begin to lose their mind? Because I feel as though it may be happening before my very eyes. Let me explain…Technology has taken over our world. People with very limited brain function can currently stumble through life without anyone noticing their level of stupidity. I’m not talking about anyone with a disability, settle ya self. I’m talking about the average dumb ass with limited brain function, George W. Bush will work as a fine example. He’s known across the board as being an idiot yet he still became president! That is a dumb ass bumbling through life without anyone noticing quite how dumb they are until it’s too late. I’ve never considered myself overly intelligent, I have years of report cards to back that up. I’m a person of average intelligence, I have a decent amount of common sense and am quite logical. I’m also very good at puzzles, that has nothing to do with this story but I did however think that you should know that tid bit about me. You’d think someone like myself with average intelligence (and a knack for puzzles) would be able to stumble through day to day life. I need someone to shed some light on my current state of unconscious. I went to a store the other day. I got what I needed and paid the cashier. Although I don’t remember them I’m pretty certain I thought I was better than her for not having to wear that blue smock everyday. I’m not claiming to be a good person! This blog crap is about honesty is it not?! So yes I was probably being internally judgey with the cashier. Well karma won that day. The store I was leaving has automatic doors. You know the drill you walk up to the door, the sensor feels your presence and viola the door opens. Well not only does this store have automatic doors it also has the “old fashioned” kind of doors that you actually have to push open. I walked up to that set of doors with my bags in hand and just stood there. Several seconds went by, I even looked around with my eyebrows raised to see if any of the employees,the same people that while I was in line I felt superior to, knew that their crappy door was broken. I even backed up to make sure I was in the sensors line of sight! I may have even stomped my foot several times to make sure the sensor felt my presence. Not until someone walked passed me and pushed the door open did I realize that I’m an idiot. I’m one of those people bumbling through life!! I know what you’re thinking, “Alicia you’re being too hard on yourself”. No, I’m being perfectly hard on myself! On multiple occasions I have tried to open my front door with the little thing on my keychain that unlocks the car doors!!!! This is not ok! Are these early signs of dementia? Should I just move to Florida now and start doing puzzles on a regular basis? Have I become so dependent on technology that my brain is functioning less? I believe it has, I would be lost without things like my iPhone and my DVR. I might even go as as to say that I could be addicted…they have places for technology addiction now, don’t believe me, go check it out http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/60-second-science/post.cfm?id=breaking-free-from-the-web-new-reha-2009-08-21

Just a side note, I wrote this blog several days ago, every time I sat in in front of my computer to post it I forgot why I was there and got lost on the internet…I’m pretty sure now is when we should all be concerned for my safety! Thanks for reading, I have to go now,  I’ve been trying to start my car for a half an hour using my iPod.
