LOLs and BRBs

I can't quite wrap my head around this whole "Stop using technology thing"
because that's stupid.

I think I speak for us all when I say that the Airplane mode rule in seminary
is probably the worst thing ever.

What if my parents call?!? What if my friend is having a break down?!  I NEED to know those things.

I'm sick of people telling me I'm on the computer too much.  Yes, I'm on the computer a lot.  Yes, I'm on my phone a lot.  Why?  Because I get bored.  Who doesn't?  I'm sorry, but playing a game on my phone is completely acceptable on the bus, especially when none of you want to talk to me.

"Why not just talk to them face to face?" Maybe because it's my friend who is grounded.  Maybe it's my friend who is sick.  Maybe it's my friend who lives down in Arizona.  You don't know who I'm talking to.  I'm not blowing anyone off.

Basically I'm venting.

I'm pissed that I'm told technology is bad
and that all that comes from it is
violence, sacrilegious humor and porn
or that I'm wasting away.

There is a point to where technology is bad
but what I'm really getting at is this.

Stop telling me to not use technology
it's required in today's world.
Tell us to use it properly.

Technology is GOOD.  I don't understand where this went wrong.
Some people used it bad and thus everyone does.
Some muslims are terrorists and thus be scared of muslims.
Some gays are flamboyant and thus they all are.

I guess this applies to more than technology.



And I guess I'm only venting because of grumpy old men at church
but I guess that works for blogs right?
