Is Techie Efficiency Driving Us Crazy?

Now I’m not gonna lie, my little bb is like my life-line! I spent most of today out of the office but was still able to keep on top of everything. But as I had a glimmer of the past this morning post-Bikram and feeling zen, I thought back to the days when we were sans mobile! You know, when you arranged a time to meet a friend over one phone call and then actually met them! Pow!! How efficient!! But now, first of all we send a text to say, “ooh must catch up soon!” Followed by a text a few days later saying, “you free this weekend or next at all?” Followed by a furore of texting back and forth over the next few days arranging a time and place!! And wait, it’s no problem if you’re not going to make it bang on time…hell you can text to say you’re running five minutes late!! Would we have made 12 phone calls back in the day to arrange a rendevous with friends? No!! One call, one time, and on time!!
Again, I’m not about to ditch my bb, although it’s quite pleasing when I forget it sometimes!…not here, can’t answer your call dude! But now when I look around, everybody is busily key-pounding with their thumbs, heads fixated on little rectangular buzzy things!! I’m convinced it increases a girl’s stress levels!! Anyways, gotta dash, must text a friend about having dinner this weekend or next…
