A whole new world.....I think I miss the old days

It is a whole new world out there and I am not sure if I can keep up....come on I am in my mid thirties I wonder what people older than I think and feel about the new age where computers rule the world. I think I miss the old days where if you needed to write someone a letter you take out a pen and paper and....well....write a letter. I mean do kids even pass notes in school anymore or do they just text message that the teacher has a booger or IM their girlfriend that the boy sitting next to her is cute. So, where is this coming from??? I was up very late trying to create a website....note I am not even creating it I am having a friend do it for me and I was still overwhelemed by how but much I really do not know about computers, the web, and how much I need to learn.... I am not sure if I can keep up.

Times have changed so much even from when I was younger....we were so excited not to have to play pong anymore because Atary came out and PacMan and Donkey Kong was the new craze. I remember if I wanted to talk to someone I would pick up the phone (yes we had a roterary) and call not turn on the computer and see that person to chit chat....if I wanted to see you I would walk several blocks and ring your bell. I mean so now you have to look your best to make a call??? I remember that if you wanted to go out and play you would open the door and just go "call" for your friend to come out to play...no more play dates via texting....the play date is set up between mom to mom....why can't the kids do it anymore??? If you ring the bell and the kid was there...you play together, if not you go to the next friends house. I remember a new technology where if you were out and someone had to reach you they would beep you and yes you had to get out of the car or store to find a pay phone (better have lots of change on you) to see what was up....ok....so I am not complaining about cell phones I love them!!! I am horrible with mine keeping it charged or on me....hey cut me a break I have enough responsibilites when I go out:)  But times even a few years ago were so much easier....a little more personal and there is a part of me that misses a simpler time in life. I think a lot gets lost in posting your whole life on FB or putting every thought that is in your head on Twitter. How do you get to really know someone...go to the FB page??? Also, there is no tone, facial expression so a lot of what you read is wrong because you misinturpt the message. I miss when you wanted to tell someone off, stand your ground, comment on some gossip, you did it to their face not on the computer!!!

So yes, I am bloggin instead of writing in my personal journal...well of course....times have changed. Ok...yes, I am texting and Instant Messaging and having my own website. I am "a social butterfly" trying to keep up....yet another aspect of how I am growing and changing....my health, my happiness, my fitness and now my knowledge of technology and how to do business???

Wow this really is a new time for me.....working out and focusing on my body, having kids, and expanding my mind and accepting this new cyber age. Times have and continue to change and I am going to try to reap some benefits from it and grow my BeachBody Businss!!!
