Hi,
It's 2014 and Obamacare has landed. GOOD LUCK. WE'RE ALL GOING TO NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ROCKY START DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR THE FUTURE. OBVIOUSLY, PEOPLE'S HEALTH WAS LESS AT STAKE THAN POLITICAL CONTROL WHICH IS NOW WITHIN THE GRASP OF THE FOLKS WHO WANT AMERICA'S RICHES FOR THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENOUGH ON A SUBJECT THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED! THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES FACING AMERICA, AS CHANGE OFTEN DOES, BROUGHT THE RAT IN WITH THE CAT.
I received an email awhile back from a friend about things that are predicted to disappear as we proceed into the age of technology. It is a list of nine to which I'm sure many others will be added: the post-office, checks, the newspaper, books, land line telephones, the music industry, television, owning "whatever", and privacy.
We've heard much about the Post-office and newspapers and their losses and currently we've been introduced the idea of no more checking accounts as England prepares to do away with checks by 2018 and replace it with plastic cards and online transactions. Big year for thieves and loss of privacy!This also will help destroy what's left of the post office.
Loss of the books has been well under way for some time as we welcome readers and e-books . I have been part of this loss for some time with two e-book novels "Absolute Power!" and my recent publication of "The Drone Solution". It has made publishing both easier and more difficult as we struggle with a technology we weren't prepared to confront!
The demise of land line telephones began at the start of cell phones and nostalgia and the fax have maintained what's left and who knows how long that will be feasible. But the music industry is more recent and surprising. And so is the reason-- the lack of innovation in the music industry that has been stamped out by corruption plus greed. The author of the email cites "Appetite for Self-Destruction" (no it's not about OBAMACARE!!!!!!!) by Steve Knopper and a video documentary, "Before the Music Dies." Of course, as technology goes, both are ONLINE!!!!!!!!
We're also aware of TVs decline and considering the programming, it's going fast!!!!!!!! Netflix movies and online TV are now the replacements.
The family no long gathers ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!! FAMILY???????? DO I HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEY'RE DOING?????????
I have been loud and vocal in my complaints about ADOBE'S UNCARING ATTITUDES TOWARD THEIR PRODUCTS BUT NOW THAT ATTITUDE TOWARD "YOU" HAS SURFACED BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!! THE "CLOUDS" THEY INVENTED TO STORE YOUR STUFF IS SET TO GO BIG TIME SO THAT YOU WON'T "OWN" ANYTHING!!!!!!! NOR HAVE ANY PRIVACY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the computer companies are INSTALLING CLOUDS AS PART OF THE INTERNET IN ALL NEW COMPUTERS. SAVING WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE INTERNET FOR WHICH YOU PAY A FEE TO LOSE YOUR PRIVACY!!!!!!!! IT WILL BE A VIRTUAL WORLD--SO CONVENIENT (IT SAYS SO UNTIL YOU LOSE POWER AND POSSESSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!) SO THAT MOST THINGS WE RELY ON NOW WILL BECOME DISPOSABLE OR RELY ON A MACHINE TO CARE.
AND OF COURSE WITH ALL THAT GOES YOUR PRIVACY--WHATEVER'S REALLY LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!! ACTUALLY, WITH POLICE CAMERAS, TINY LISTENING DEVICES, AND THE NSA, CAMERAS IN FACT HAVE BECOME THE PEEPING TOMS OF THIS CENTURY AND INTO EVERYTHING TURNED OUTWARD AS WELL AS INTO YOU BOUDOIR !!!!!!!!!!!! THE AUTHORS POINT OUT THE GPS AND GOOGLE VIEWS OF YOUR HOMES AND THE TONS OF INFORMATION FED INTO MACHINES ABOUT YOUR HABITS SO THAT RETAILING CAN BE MORE SPECIFIC TO "YOUR NEEDS"????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE SEEING THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, FOLKS. THE CHANGES AHEAD WILL COME SWIFTLY AND A NEW WORLD WILL APPEAR ON YOUR DOORSTEP (THAT IS IF YOU STILL HAVE ONE ?????????) AND WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN AMERICA'S POLITICS TODAY IS A REFLECTION OF JUST THAT. WE MAY ACTUALLY BE LOOKING TOWARD A WORLD RUN BY MACHINES AND MAKING POLITICIANS REDUNDANT.
ACTUALLY, WHEN YOU SEE RECENT LEGISLATION, THEY'RE PRETTY REDUNDANT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS THIS BLOGGER LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW YEAR AND THE MID 2000S ?????????? NOT SO YOU COULD NOTICE !!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE ALL HUMANS, I LIKE MY "RUT". IT'S COMFORTABLE AND I AM OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW THE REPLACEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE PROBLEMATICAL AND ANNOYING BUT CHANGE (GOOD AND BAD) IS AHEAD AND I'M PUTTING ON MY SAFETY BELT AND HANGING TIGHT TO GREET THE FUTURE AS CHEERFULLY AS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN'T FIGHT INEVITABILITY--YOU CAN ONLY ENDURE.
CHEERS, CONNIE
