Technology

My fellow masappers,

Our beloved President recently spoke to us about awkward experiences. I want to thank him for his frank discussion of awkwardness. I, like our President, have also recently found myself in some extremely awkward situations. Most of these awkward situations involved members of the opposite sex. Actually, all of these experiences involved members of the opposite gender. Funny how that works.

Anyway, I could sit here and tell you about my awkward experiences…and they were quite awkward… or I could move things along and get right to my real message: technology.

Technology is our friend. Also, our enemy. Technology is our “frienemy”. The internet, computers, video games, television, and all other bits of electronics are very useful to us….if we are able to use them. Maybe it’s just me, but I believe that technology is out to get us. Some may call me crazy. Some may even think me paranoid. But when the robots finally stage their violent uprising I’ll be prepared.

And what about those computer games that are supposedly child friendly? All I can say is Oregon Trail scarred me for life. I have nightmares of cholera, crossing rivers in big wagons, and getting stuck in the mud. Child friendly indeed:


There might no longer be boys scouts after the robotic uprising (the robots may annihilate them during some camp outing), but that doesn’t mean we still can’t “be prepared”. I’m practicing my robot boogie. What are you doing to prepare?
