A mini rant

[Mrspjsmom]

Somedays I hate technology. I hate sending text messages and not getting a response. Were they delivered? Were they read? The same thing goes for emails. Then there is Facebook, a longer rant for a different day. I want to make a phone call and speak to an actual person without spending 10 minutes pressing buttons to answer a pre recorded menu. I want to pay a bill without setting up an automatic withdrawl from my account. I want spam calls on my home phone and cell phone to stop. Don't get me wrong, there are situations where technology is helpful. Lately I just find it annoys me. Thanks for listening.

It does. Have spent so much time trying to talk to a person then waiting on hold the last several days I wanted to scream at times. But I am trying to stay positive and be kind so I didn't 🙃

I know exactly how you feel. Technology keeps us farther apart than ever in many cases. Thank heavens this group isn’t one of them! You always know people will answer you here!

Welcome to the world of Neuralink, where soon all this will be history.

Get rid of your cell phone... Call people instead. Pay your bills by mail or go to their office to make a payment. And don't worry about FB, remember people's lives aren't that glorious, it's a highlight reel. We only share what we choose to on social media, people don't share how they look in the morning, their kids throwing up all over themselves and the bed, videos of real arguments. Facebook and any other social media is not a means to measure your life.

I do as little as I can with my cell phone and make payments by check or in person every chance I get. Unfortunately t can't completely give up my cell phone or texting. My husband and children work at hospitals and a fire station so I often have to text them when something important is going on. They then call when they can. My daughter sometimes goes in the bathroom to call me from work so she doesn't get in trouble. But if I could I would smash my cell phone into tiny bits with great pleasure.🤣
