Is the machine finally replacing the real thing ?


It’s amazing for me how fast we are getting technologically speaking, I just turned 35 ( when I was a child someone in that age would be bald, fat and just a resemblance of their young selfs but that is material for a different post ) so im may be the new 25 sort of speak, I work, I read , I go out to have fun and Im definitely living in the present as I still enjoying most of the things I used to when I was 20 ,but if time made my brain sharper so the tools and toys that surround my geek world.

I was there on the transition from vinyl to the cd and I still remember the time spent on recording my cassette songs so I could hear those on my bright yellow walkman and the last two records I bought: Madonna – Like a Prayer and Michael Jackson Moon Walker ( yeah I know once a fag ….lol ) and the excitement of my first music cd Immaculation collection from Madonna ( shut up )

All those memories sometimes makes me feel like a ancient mummy, but if im not that old what is happening with the world ? we are just pasting forward faster than never in history, both in the good and in the bad way( and if we not careful the only white Christmas and polar bears our children will ever see it will be through 3D lenses or virtual reality glasses on a future not so distant ).

Until 2 months ago I was carrying a bunch of papers printed on my printer with the exercises and sets I should be doing on my gym as I just cant remember that kind of thing, now I have a app from iphone that show me what to do in video. Last year synchronise my contact phone numbers, addresses, email and birthdays was a hell of job that used take me days and was always out of date when I finished doing it, now I got a app that search all the information for me from my email, facebook and telephone contacts grouping the main information in one only page with pictures, links in seconds and daily updates.

Technology is there to be put in a good use, but unfortunately like everything in life or myself doing a cake from scratch, the problem is the dosage, or tech days stole the good fun of hide and seek of my videogame lovers nieces, took from me the pleasure of see someone im interest naked only when we are actually in bed, should I really need to know that in this exactly moment there is 20 guys living 2km a part and even not knowing them in real life I already know the size of the their manhood, what they like in bed and part of their life story?

ARE WE IN THE MIDDLE OF A EVOLUTION OR JUST TURNING BACK TO A CAVE ?

From the time I watched my first film at home on VHS ( The Blue Lagoon ) to the computer generate film Avatar I just rented without taking my ass off the sofa through my digital cable tv on my massive flat 50 inch tv long, small time passed ,for me that always dreamed about the future and was a kid imagining the world of the future ,our time is almost as big as my little kid imagination, right now I don´t think about the future because im glad to be young enough to enjoy the present !

But our days brought a dark side that is that fact of more people are developing mental disorders, we are connected with millions but we are getting more and more lonely, the abundance of choices mess up of our ability to make choices, our abundant access to information made us unaffected by them, so who cares about the earthquake in Australia, I want to be skinny as a top model, famous without any talent, with a porn star huge dick and forty with a skin of a 20´s years old face, and if Im not any of that im a failure!

Not surprise we all have issues, im not here acting like the old folk that can’t comprehend the present so get frightened and start to ditches the new in favour of the old, not at all, I pretty much in favour of embrace the future but learning from the past because otherwise we are set to make the same mistakes only with a new package.


THE ARTISTS ON MAGAZINES ARE SO PERFECT BECAUSE NOT EVEN THEM ARE SO PERFECT ( 99% OF THE MAGAZINES YOU SEE ARE RETOUCHED )

THE SUPERSIZED DICKED PORNSTARS ARE A TINY SMALL PART OF THE POPULATION THAT CAN NOT EVEN BE MEASURE BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE EXPOSE MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE SMALL AND NOT ACCEPTING ANYTHING THAT NOT REACH YOUR THOAT ! LOL

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY,NOBODY LIKES SUPER SKINNY PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT LIKE THAT NATURALLY OR MeN THAT LOOKS THEY WERE PUMPED LIKE A TIRE, BE healthy is reach your potential not your movie star figure ( there is a fine line between DREAM AND BE DELUSIONAL )

Leave the chat room AND go out, make friends and have a good time out with real not still retouched people,have real fun with all the flaws and imperfections that only the real life can provide, there is no better 3d than the real life.

Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.
