i know this is rare

but

this computer lost its ablity to calculate airspeed

and everything shut down

there should be a way to do everything manually

...in conclusion, i just don't trust technology

i say sitting on my couch, with my comp in my lap

surrounded by the comforts technology has given me

Hey, but at least you recognize all of that.

heh

...also i realize i didn't say what this computer was running

it was a plane

full of passengers

...oh gosh.

....it's also worrying to me that we're slowly losing skills like how to fly a plane manually

and other stuff, idk what off the top of my head

i agree with you on this. I do like the benefits technology can offer but the rate of acceleration for how much depends on it reminds me

way too much of the cyberman takeover in doctor who

and yeah, id feel a lot more comfortable with a way to manually control important things

hah, i'm not too worried about a takeover, in part because there are so many shows about computers taking over

i think they'd build in failsafes

i'm more worried about what would happen if somehow, someday we lose this tech

LOL oh i should have clarified, im not actually worried about THAT particular thing happening, but yeah. becoming so damn dependent on it

through who knows what, maybe an enemy will figure out how to knock it out

that society basically shuts down if we lose it

and then we'll be left high and dry

yeah

ah okay gotcha

...also as tech gets more advanced that's just more stuff to go wrong

like touchscreens are awesome

but if it breaks, you have to get a whole new gadget and that's kind of a waste

yep. although i do suspect that most generations have felt this way too, and its a part of growing older in a changing world

yeah

probably

although obviously right now technology is just

going nuts lol

i'm gonna be that little old catlady in the old house going 'IN MY DAY WE DIDN'T HAVE ROCKET POWERED BOOTS

WE WALKED THROUGH THE SNOW

TO SCHOOL UPHILL BOTH WAYS

AND WE LIKED IT

lol i will too. "damn kids, quit riding your hoverboards over my lawn youre bending the grass"

AND COFFEE, DON'T GET ME STARTED ON COFFEE

IT USED TO BE 5 BUCKS

FOR A WHOLE CUP

lmao, we can be crazy old cat ladies together

haha awesome, except im not a cat person so you can be the cat lady and ill be the dog lady with like...two huskies and a rat terrier lol

okay we can have a small farm

XD

haha sweet. horses too! xD

\o/

...actually there's a TV series i should maybe watch, lol

it's about just this thing, where we lose all our tech

cars, planes, everything

and people have to keep on living anyway

i think it might be called Revolution?

oh that sounds like something id love. if you remember/find out what it is will you let me know? lol

aha, here it is
