So I’ve never blogged before but I’m sitting here on my laptop while my boyfriend is bragging about some new remote control mobile phone looking thing.  He is so bloody happy with himself because he worked out how to link almost everything in our house to this contraption, tv, internet, music, surround sound and just about anything that you can change a setting on (think of him as one of the nerds off big bang theory but better looking).  So from this thing he can control all the settings in our house without even getting up off the couch, the toilet, bed, where ever.  I was just like ‘what the…’ sure maybe I should have been born in the 60’s instead of 80’s but I can’t understand why a healthy person would ever need to use this.  Sure technology is amazing but the more it advances the less we do as human beings.  Its any wonder Australia is one of the most obese countries in the world when were obsessed with making everything a convenience.  My better half doesn’t look like a fat slob or anything but mentally he should weigh 500 pounds as his ideal day after work would be to come home strip, sit on the couch, order take out and have it delivered while he sat there controlling his surroundings from this new contraption all night then falling asleep on the couch.  Oh my, I’m already laughing my ass off about going hiking with him for a week with no technology and only emergency comms with the world.  Ah yes if technology keeps advancing as fast as it is I’m scared about the way the human race will end up in 5, 10 or 20 years? ick.. i’m going to be one of those old farts that has no idea.
