My first post a couple of days ago about Tech overload drew some good comments. And in honor of the Tech convention going on in Vegas I think it is time for Luddite II ( Not 2.0 ) To make it easier on all I have added post 1 to the bottom of this one for those who missed it .
You might be a Luddite if
1 You think the WEB is a movie about a spider and a pig named Wilbur
2 When you talk about Vinyl you are referring to music not flooring.
3 You were shopping in the produce section of your super market looking for I-Pods to add to a Chinese food recipe.
4 You continue to ask to borrow a pencil when nobody has used one since first grade
5 You think Spy-ware was the name of the comic strip about those 2 guys in Mad Magazine.
6 You know what Mad Magazine is.
7 You talk back to you car when it tells you your door is ajar and always say ,"No it's not it's a door." And you think that is funny.
8 There is a place in your house that is full of 8 tracks and cassettes that you just know will come back some day.
9 You actually use all those calenders that people send you around Christmas and those are your day planners
10 and Finally you might be a Luddite if, you go on a listing appointment and open your brief case and there are papers and a folders in it and Not a PC
Below is the first post which many liked. Now I could have placed a link here to it , but that would have been so against the spirit of the thing !!!
Jeff Foxworthy does a wonder routine called you might be a Redneck if.... It is almost a part of our everyday American -Speak.
I was just on line working on ordering a service and I suddenly realized how much I hate certain types of technology. I am calling it over tech. An example of over tech is; I was in a store and could not buy bologna because the computers that price were being updated. I do not want my refrigerator telling me not to eat something. That is what a wife is for. So for those of you who feel overwhelmed at times by technology, here are some key signs that you are in trouble;
You Might be a Luddite if,
1 It takes you 5 minutes to text, How are you, and still do not know how to find the question mark
2 You think Plaxo is an ancient Greek Philosopher
3 Your cell phone ring is the old rotary dial ring, and you LIKE it that way
4 Your speed dial is a small spiral notebook in your shirt pocket.
5 You know what a spiral notebook is.
6 You were blogging for a year before you knew what the word blog means.
7 You still do not know what the word blog means.
8 You refer to a computer screen as a CRT or a VDU
9 You thought you could take medication for Tweeting
And finally,
You could be a Luddite if you will spend 20 minutes finding a number to call on a screen for help rather than press the on line chat
