Humor

After wading through thousands of unread emails on my laptop with a signal to noise ratio of around 1 to 3,000, I couldn't help but ponder who was sending me what and what I wasn't reading - and why.

Granted, my lifestyle has changed. What most people consider to be 'new technology' seems to be a boring reiteration of the last 22 years of 'new technology' with the exception of the Internet. Because of that, and because I have grown so bored with the same old ideas being rehashed (a list would be insanely long), I don't read messages as often as I used to. If I were egocentric, I would say that it is because I have grown beyond the well intended scribblings and commentaries on the Internet about everything from electrical engineering to social media abstractions. And yet, too, it would seem egocentric to write that everyone else is at such a boring level of interest. Perhaps it would be more appropriate, honest and less egocentric to write that I have become jaded by the constant barrage of 'new and exciting' technologies, ideas and even humor that others feel the need to bestow upon the collective. Here I am, blogging, and I must wonder even at the worth of what I write.

Would that more people wondered at the worth of what they write.

One of the things I typically do with people is keep them off balance. To those in Trinidad and Tobago, this would be heckling - to those in other parts of the world, it would be called teasing. Reveling in the irony of situations, proper use of sarcasm and wit and the ability to react quickly to information even as it falls out of mouths is an art that almost always seems to take advantage of those not as quick on their mental feet.

To All Those Social Media Pundits claiming everything and anything is affected by Social Media:

The Superbowl was not won or lost because of Social Media. So stop right there.

'Nuff Said.
