Losing Face2Face Time

With all the advances in technology over the years, we have lost...face2face time. There are fewer and fewer reasons for us to look each other in the eye. A person could easily become a hermit and never step foot from their house.

Anywhooooo……......

I hear you challening me about the notion of never having to leave the house, so you ask…”What about.........?”

Work? With a computer and cell phone, you could work from home in your bathrobe ...just keep it closed, por favor.

Food? Grocery stores deliver…just order online and the truck dumps it at your front door. No one will know how big your sweet tooth has grown.

Entertainment? Watch concerts and movies on television. Order DVDs through Netflix. Besides...video stores are becoming obsolete...which brings the upside: You won’t have to worry about running into irritating Ina.

Banking? Automatically deposit your check and do your banking online. Never run the risk of meeting a bank robber face2scary mask.

Post Office? Get your stamps and shipping boxes online. No worries about someone going postal on you.

Pictures? Print your pics at home and digitally enhance your appearance.

Shopping? Buy anything you want online….gizmos, Elmos, or ammo...they got it all.

Music? Download digital music...especially the band, Dear Havanah on iTunes or at DearHavanah.com. Record stores are old school and closing all around us.

Books? Order a Kindle and download books and magazines...keep it clean.

Friendships? Stay in touch with old friends online, the cell phone, or texting. Make new friends online through social networking sites. Stay away from Craigslist...you could meet the Grim Reaper.

Education? Take classes online…and get an online degree. You won’t have to sit through a 4 hour graduation ceremony.

Exercise? Move your butt to exercise routines on TV, DVD, or Wii games. Nothing like a little Wii golf to throw your back out.

So there you have it...no reason for face time.

Wait…just thought of one. If you throw your back out...you’ll need to see a doctor. Darn docs don’t make house calls anymore.

Wat up wit dat, Doc?
