Unhappy Progress Spoils Our Fun

We live in a fast technological changing world today and that always has some trade offs. Today Lilith came to mind and I began to recall some of the fun things I use to be able to do that just can't happen today.

Electronic communication has changed and improved things so very much in the last few decades but at a price. When one of the most expedient and personal methods of communicating was with a telegram, I loved sending one to special people saying "Please Disregard First Telegram"

With online shopping we've now almost come full circle with not purchasing from actual local brick & mortar stores. There was a time when you could pick up the big Sears & Roebuck catalog and order just about anything. One of my favorite things was to go to the farm section where you could buy just about any domesticated animal from pigs and chickens to cows and ponies. I could fill out the order form, get a money order and have a two pounds (approx: 1,500) box of BEES delivered by parcel-post to that special friend.

So what fun things have you had to trade off with the advancement of technology?

PF ... you mean things like flying on airplanes without getting frisked, fondled, and x-rayed while carrying finger nail clippers in your pocket?

Or, using a pay phone no longer found on streets or in most shops to call someone?

Oh well.

One nasty thing that we haven't had to trade off is that if you send a fax to a special someone's phone, it can be set for a particular time, repeating every 15 minutes until success. One of these to the cell as well adds to the shared joy. Friday night often means the fax won't be reset before Monday.

What technology has take away has largely been replaced with new fun.

BTW, you didn't hear this from me.

The authenticity of photographs.

The authenticity of photographs, other than ones you took yourself, was always suspect, JSeal...as long as there have been photos, there have been people retouching them in various ways. Colorizing them with paints, dodging and burning in for better contrast, double-exposures, airbrushing.

I'm with OF on this one...we do all the things we always did, just in slightly different ways. I would yearn for a real letter, but no one sent them that often even before e-mail. The ancient Greeks perved looking at urns. We have Pixies. Plus ça change...

I haven't really lost anything, just what I'm used to has gotten faster and a little easier.




AZ, I'd have to find a decent fountain pen to send a real letter. Unfortunately, those are few and far between in stores these days.

hmmmfttt ......Not all photos are retouched either! I only touch what i have to, and with the new camera it really isnt that much at all if anything. Sometimes i might make it a B&W or sepia tone, but rarely is it a major overhaul. If it requires that much work generally the pic is shit and i'd rather reshoot!

Even back in the ages a photo could still be manipulated, yes now days its far easier, but its not a new thing.

I like the modern world for the most part, afterall without technology there would be no internet, without tht no Pixies.

I'm happy with my lot *L*

Yeah, but I still can't send Lilith 2 pounds of bees with just an order form and money order.

So it doesn't really ruin your fun so much as your evil. Poor, poor PF.

I thought being evil was fun. Have I been wrong all these years?

I can't say. It was never a requirement for me, though.

But you can now go on-line, and order her up a clown.
