Are We Losing The Techno-war?
A hundred years ago life was simple. We lived in basic wooden houses with a few machines to crank or push stuff to do our chores. We rode a horse or buggy or walked to work or the store. Entertainment was reading a book or playing cards. If something broke, you fixed it with a tool or brute strength. Fast forward to today. With all the marvels of electronics and digital devices, the odds that something will break or fail are incredibly high. Think back to last week. Which item stopped running, didn’t work as expected, needed a battery, ink, recharging, or a new part? Did the cable, Internet, cell phone, blue-tooth, or MP3 go down again? How often does that happen? What did you do to fix it and how long did it take?
