The last time my computer broke down I went about six months before I bought a new one. This was around 2009, I think. It was actually pretty nice, I read a lot of books. It would be harder now because I use the computer more. Pay all my bills, depend on Amazon too much, lots of folks only know how to get in touch with me by e-mail, and....I do almost all my reading on a Kindle now....sigh
I find it depressing that so many people who grew up in the era before computers, now have little to no desire to communicate face-to-face or even by phone with others anymore. It’s all texting. Or Facebook. It’s disturbing to see how they are embracing a removal from real interaction with people. They’re losing their humanity.
