progress

What are people's skills these days?
Organized? Leadership skills? Motivated? Attention to detail? Independent worker? Work well with others? Computer and internet savvy?

We can stare at a machine all day. Email. Type.

Look at kids these days. Everything is high tech. They hardly play outside anymore. No imagination. Communication skills are retarded by the evolution of texting and those clever acronyms. The youth today have terrible sociolization skills and manners.

Kids can't even give change back with a machine telling them what it is. Or better yet the registers that shoot out the correct change for them.

We have become so beholden to gadgets that they are crutches. Have you ever seen some in panic mode because there blackberry is missing? Or it was just in a place where the couldn't see it so that it could tell them where they left it.

Sad really. Man got along so well with ipads and blackberrys and whatever else is out there.

I am happy with my simple cell phone that can make phone calls. It serves its purpose.
