Technology is not the problem.

Angela the Curmudgeon

The Most Brilliant Woman in the World

There I was. Nothing better to do than scroll through one of the biggest time-wasters on the planet when I saw a woman post a diatribe against all social media and cell phones.

She ranted. She raved. She did everything except make a sign and march in the streets. Oh, the evil she called down upon the heads of technology providers because they were making her and millions and millions and gabillions more waste their time.

Didn't they know she had better things to do?

Rant! Rave! Aaargh!

I almost replied to her, but then realized anything I would put on her timeline would make a little notification show up that she had been replied to, at which point the woman would've wasted more of her time by going to read what I wrote.

I did not want to add sorrow to the woman's troubles, therefore, I resisted making any remark that would have brilliantly shown up my curmudgeonly side and metaphorically put the verbal beat down on her.

Still, her remark got me to thinking. Don't you find it quite interesting that people will complain about a technology that is wasting their time as if it is the technology's fault time is being wasted instead of their own lack of self-control? I do.

And there are a bunch of these curmud-...errr...I mean people. Some of who claim loud and long on their time-waster of choice claim to be Conservatives. I believe them to be posers, P-HWPCDLRSFC* wolves in sheep's clothing because nobody who is really a conservative ever blames anybody else for their own lack of self control.

It just isn't done, son.
