You've seen all those emails, the nostalgic ones that take you back to a specific decade... You were born in the 80s if... etc. Yes they are humorous, they even give you the need to automatically hit forward and send it off to whomever it is that you think will laugh as hard as you did.
I've always wondered how email chains get started. Is it some lonely human being sitting in their basement one night compiling information into a document? Do they disguise it as an email they may have already received, so that no one realizes they birthed the spam being read?
How's this for a remember when... remember when people TOLD jokes or stories? You picked up the phone to tell your bff, mom or bf, the funny thing you saw or heard today? Now, it's all about emails and text messages. I guess this post is like the pot calling the kettle black, I could have picked up the phone and told someone this thought, but I chose to write a blog. So here is my question for the day, are you ready to TELL someone a story? Or, are you content with the loss of human touch we all seem so satisfied with?
Ha! Someone asked me the other day if I was actually going to take notes when I went back to school in spring. I say yes! There will always be those who still love doing things the old-fashioned way even though they adopt the technology. Those people will still be the face-to-face communicators! I'd like to think we fit in that group :)
