Android Charlie:The Sequel, the Drama- Repost

Android Charlie: The Sequel: the Drama  Android Charlie II:The Sequel: The Drama OH, Charlie had money alright! A great house, wife,and a quite intelligent child, too! Very opulent, he! Three cars, vacations and a complete lifestyle, too. Alas, those cell phones came along! Charlie just had to become part of that techie crowd. Soon the phone took the place of his wife! Tell the truth, of his entire life! And any visitor to his once warm and friendly home? Well, now, a sad update~all relatives and friends, in total silence do sit, while Charlie,lost soul,he,  Only had eyes and time for his phone! Charlie, unknowingly treated his guests as less than gnats! No jovial conversation ever ensued. Only if the TV, with irritation,screamed: Breaking News! Yes, this meaningless drivel~ made Charlie swivel? As to his phone ,it sadly appeared. permanently glued to his hand. Dinners with candles, are you serious? Once grand and beauteous were never lit! Just his pasty white face, how ghastly it looked. Like a stiff corpse in a coffin. My Lord, what a technological schnook. Now that once laughter-filled abode stands empty! The front door swings forever open. Yes, Charlie is still there, totally and blissfully unaware, His wife and child have had enough, Of a tragic life sans human communication! A scene not unusual in any nation! Get a lockbox for your smartphones, if that addicted you are. Unless you are a surgeon on call, best love the humans next to you. And sorry, but I will not rejoice in texts nor Emojis.  These are far from human attributes! And no, neither funny nor cozy, We need not fear, true, warm living communication. Just realize that God gave us tongues to speak with and ears to hear. Live life in the real world as much as you can. You are loved by people!  Not by the devices in the technological nation.

I recently had coffee with a friend, she spent all the time on her cell rather than talking to me, I thought it was incredibly rude and pathetic. I am never, ever going to have coffee with her again.... might as well have been by myself, I think that would even had been better ~ Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 4/18/2019 3:37:00 PM Edit Delete There'a a sign outside a Greek coffee shop in Canada. It says "We have no W-FI! Talk to your friends, you 'malakas'(wankers)."Maybe you can tell her how you feel and have some ground rules? Some are beyond rules.I avoid such wankers totally,I do know how you feel.Sorry,Dear Heart!You need a new friend? Send her to "MA..Malakas Anonymous" LOL

You look around a restaurant today and everyone glued to their phones. What riles me when you're talking to someone and they say excuse me must answer this, hang on I was talking first grrrr, I walk away. Tom

Right on , brother! Good thing restaurants are nailed shut here, bars, etc. I rarely ate out because it I wanted to get up and give a lecture to people. Most unwelcomed. Kids see their parents do this. We are drowning in a clueless world. Also, instead of taking pictures of Gods beauty, people love violence only. Tom~ it is so sad. The human contact...lost. The eyes that see only the Android, the iPad or the PC. A very Unbrave New World.. Pangie xx
