Have you noticed we're beginning to trade humanity for convenience? Machines are replacing people. Practically whatever it is, they can do it faster, cheaper, with fewer errors and less supervision. As much as I'm fascinated by and appreciative of technology, I don't want to live in a world where there are no friendly [living, breathing] attendants to smile at me, to ask how my family is doing, to drop my change and sheepishly apologize, to go out of their way just to be nice. (Of course that's not considering the fact that genuinely nice people seem to be few and far between these days…)
I get a sick taste in my mouth when I realize that, ultimately, everything bolis down to money- it's all about numbers, the bottom line… [who makes what, who can get what, who already has what… gimmie, gimmie, gimmie- take, take, take…] And it distresses me to know I cannot pinpoint the exact second that became the most important thing in our lives. And if I don't know the when, where, how and why of it, I am afraid I can never get back to really living life and not just existing from paycheck to paycheck. This nickel and diming crap, frankly, sucks.
