Isn't it nice not to have to click a button?

I was born in 1985.  I am not one hundred percent positive, but I believe this is the year Nintendo was released.  I can vividly remember my brothers first communion, explaining to my family members how to play Mario Brothers.  I have always been good at video games, nd things involving technology.  I am typing currently while watching the television, I am not sure how i developed this skill, perhaps it was keeping up with chatting with girls on the original AOL instant message.  I have this question on this evening however, Isn't it nice not to have to push a button?

I was never a big watch guy, more of a bracelet kind of guy.  Recently I started wearing the watch, and discovered how much nicer it is just to look at my watch rather than locate my phone, hit my button on my phone to see the time.  Earlier today I was on the ferry reading, and I thought about buying a kindle.  I realized that there is just something about the feel of a book that is nicer than actually reading off of the kindle, same thing with reading the hard copy of the newspaper rather than online.

Basically, technology is a powerful thing.  I'm all about using it to advance the lives we can lead, however we must not exterminate all of the old fashioned ways of operating.  Some things have lasted this long for a reason.
