Technology

While waiting for something witty and funny to strike me for a work proposal earlier this evening, I somehow managed (like always) to stop thinking about work and let the little that's left of my mind to wander to significantly less important thoughts. I ended up thinking about the person I would be had I lived 100 years ago. Now back tracking myself in time is not unusual for me, I just usually end up in the 70s...when no one knew the dangers of smoking, drugs, alcohol or too much sun and frankly, the music was better. So this is a new one for me. Now, in order for this to make as much sense as possible I should probably explain a few things about me:

1. I facebook. Alot
2. I email. Alot
3. I follow cyanide & happiness. You guessed it...Alot.
4. I'm a geek girl. Not so far as to say I watch anime, but I game, I fix my own laptop, I perv at hardware and I laugh at binary jokes.

So with this in mind, I'm not sure there'd be much left of me as a person if I didn't have the above mentioned things to pretend my life has a greater meaning. Especially when it comes to dating. If there are no cyber geek technology minded sick & twisted and down right psychotic men in the world...Who would I date? And how?

How did women all those years ago do it without instant messaging, email and facebook? Now I'm not the type to meet men like this but given that I travel a fair amount for work, I do keep in contact this way...I like to think it reminds us both that we still exist. I like the fact that I can not be able to sleep and have somewhere to post my futile thoughts on existence. I talk to my dog too, poor soul, but somehow I don't think he's listening. ( possibly the snoring that gave that away, but I'm fairly sure he's faking it. I don't blame him )

So without all this, what are we left with? Letters? I highly doubt that would work considering the amount of time they take to deliver said letter I have probably racked up another failed relationship. Which rounds me off to my point. People got married 100 years ago and were stuck with the same person for the rest of their lives not out of devotion and love, but simply from a lack of Facebook and instant messaging.
