Question of the Day - Friday, July 4th, 2025

I would say:

When someone could fix/work on a car without needing a certain computer hooked up to it to tell you what might be wrong.
When all you had to do was roll up the window instead of hope your window motor did not go out.

When people actually sent Christmas, Birthday, Holiday, etc. cards instead of a text message. (I still mail out cards.)

When students read from actual school books instead of reading from their iPads or Chromebooks.
And they played outside using their imagination instead of staring at a screen all day.

When I gave an order to a person in the drive through instead of trying to maneuver through menus on the touch order screens.
I Agree.

A family member went to a fast food place and the Only way to place an order was at a station/screen. He/family left, I would do the same.

There is something wonderful about holding a book. Do I like much of technology? Yes. Do I like the amount of it? No.

My doctor "tried" to write me a prescription, the NIH wrote that he should do so. I let him know about some of the side effects and why it wouldn't work for me, due to my dental health. He said Oh. Then I said, Why didn't you even ask me any other health questions that would let you know this drug a bad choice for me? He had no answer. He only relied on what the computer printed out for my condition. Ugh.
 
Where on earth do they not have a thing to talk to at a drive through?
Not where I live because we do not have any fast food restaurants,
but in the big cities - Subway, Taco Bell, etc.
I’m seeing it more often when I do travel. It’s same concept as self-checkout at the Walmart, Home Depot, and other stores.
 
Digital invite for a wedding is in poor taste, in my opinion. I don't go to any gatherings if I don't get a physical invite or invited over the phone. I don't have facebook or anything so if someone invites my family on there, I never see it
Okay, I can be a stinker. I was trying to think of a digital gift to send that one can never hold. A digital bouquet of flowers...Mmm the aroma. 😎 I'll think of something...
 
I have it! Here's your digital gift...I guess I could email it? Ha, oh I'm a bad girl tonight.

Digital invites are lame by my standards. A physical invite is a thing that can be kept to remember. A digital invite can disappear at the flip of a switch.
Every Christmas day and New Year day I receive load of well wish text messages to my mobile phones, I dislike those to no end, but I obliged to do a return text of thank you and same same.

I would love it if they would just pick up the phone talk to me for 2 minutes instead of text messages. But then many just find text message is less obligation to engage 1:1 talk. One of these days I will be too cross and just ignored those festive season greeting messages. Why are we so busy these days? Aren't technology streamline our lives already?

I wanted to click both Like and Sad. Too often technology takes the place of human interaction. I was thinking, there are so many wonderful people on this site, I would like to meet people with the same interest and wondered about getting a group of BYC members who are relatively close (couple of hours) and have a lunch date. It was a nice thought...
