Relaxing Day


I had a nice relaxing day today. What is the purpose of blogging? I think I feel better after doing it. I cannot really nail down, exactly, why I do it. For instance, I floss my teeth to prevent tooth decay. Maybe I blog to prevent mental decay. I am a digital immigrant.
Digital Immigrant
you wonder
wondering
the zeroes and the ones
are much more important
than they used to be
why
when I was a kid
only a few people had a computer
we
used
ditto machines
purple ink
plopping
carbon copying
cc'ing
before
the machines did it
we did it manually
knowledge spreads faster
sources lessen
but
people communicate faster
maybe
not as deeply
but
faster
we're on the brink
so things are new
still
but
i still
like a
good cup of
chocolate chip cookie dough
ice cream
yum!
