My blog has taken an abrupt turn. It started as a repository of random, pithy wisdoms that I gathered throughout my time in the corporate world that I had planned to compile into a book. (Now it’s that plus some original, stream-of-consciousness babble-de-gook.)
As I researched to expound on my content I find there is a lot of content “out there” and it’s confusing.
Ten years ago my wife got a Blackberry through her company. I had no interest and no idea what it did. It didn’t affect my life in my cubicle.
Five years ago she upgraded her personal flip phone to a “smart phone”. I had no interest. I thought of that stupid little “smart car.”
Some years before that, an acquaintance talked about WIFI. I asked, what is WIFI? He said, “WIFI.” His answer wasn’t helpful. He’s a man of the world. I’m a man of a cubicle. I operated on a need to know basis.
Some years later we had WIFI at the house. My wife (hereinafter known as PJ) used it with her iPad. (Can you make telephone calls on an iPad?)
Then last year she got an Amazon Fire Stick. Then I discovered streaming. Then I cancelled cable. And now I can’t imagine life without WIFI or my smart phone.
(Yes, Cornflower, can you believe it? I got an iPhone!)
