Technology is changing the world. Some things are great and some things are completely useless. While there are other things that I will never understand and will always feel outdated because of it. However, I will still profit off of it. They have touch screen refridgerators that talk to you and tell you the temperature and what is in the refridgerator. That is useless because its quicker to just open up my fridge and look inside.

Video game players are now considered athletes and they are pushing to make it an olympic sport. I will never consider playing video games a sport or look at a person sitting on their couch for hours playing a game as an athlete. Especially when gaming companies just had an official draft and no one wanted to select a female game player. But, I still own stock in several of these companies.

We need to unplug. I go at least twice a month where I don't touch my phone, watch TV, or use any high tech items. Those days, I go out with my daughter, I hike, or I just find random ways of enjoying myself. Those days are a complete refresher.

Not when you're at the supermarket you can't. But many of those fridges can be accessed by an app to find out if you have something or not.

Europe is obsessed with regulating the technology. That's why they lag behind! Do you think China is going to wait for a European Regulation? What world are they living on?

Being homebound because of sickness is a horrible thing...

Thank God for the Internet and all its evils.
