OK... you are sitting alone, yet all around you are people communicating electronically with everyone and everything. There are computers blinking, ipods flashing, phone conversations galore. (I was just in Panera's behind a lady having a very loud discussion with her cell phone - and I found myself being very irritated. We come into this place filled with people - and we want to be alone!
Think about that for a moment... Our lives are so filled with electronic stuff, that it seems that we are not human unless we have bluetooth growing out of our ear!
In the old days we just waited for the bell to ring... change classes!
The sound of the bell still rings in my head. Grammar school... middle school drama... pavlov's dogs - moving from room to room at the sound of the bell.
It doesn't seem much different today... except today we do it all alone... waiting for the bell to ring.
