First The mind, What next?…..
Guess what!!!! I gasped at what I saw at Macy’s today. The electronic invasion has entered our wardrobe, right at our finger tips. It’s tragic enough that they are invading the minds and behavior of our young people, robbing them of their thinking and creative development, not to mention their ability to express themselves both orally and in written form. R U w/ me? is not writing!
I worry about the young; you adults are capable of making your own decisions but please…do not let your decisions to totally enter the electronic world affect the young. It’s our responsibility to preserve the down-to-basics human traits. If you don’t know what these traits are, you’re in big kim chee, as we say in the islands.
Back to Macy’s. I went to the gloves dept and wondered why the gloves looked so strange.
Every glove had a patch of a different color and rough sand paper-like material at the tip of the thumb and forefinger. Did they run out of the same material? They looked flawed; even the gloves made of velvet had a light brown patch at the tip of these two fingers. Why were the Chinese instructed to do this? I tried on a pair and those two spots were like mud on my fingers. They were like four chipped nails on well-manicured hands.
Ah ha…I got it. We use our thumbs and forefingers for texting. Good grief!!!!
I promise you photos if I can sneak into Macy’s.
Jeesh – I’d just go with latex surgical gloves. You can type, text & Emobile to your heart’s content, and when you’re done uploading your entire brain into the cloud, you can use them to surgically remove your brain and use your empty skull for a matching handbag.
It’s alarming. I wrote a blog last week, “Should Children Learn Cursive Writing?” It is at http://www.family1stbooks.com click on Elva’s blogs.
