Right now I feel absolutely fantastic. Sure, it was difficult, painful, and I'm probably going to be regretting it tomorrow. However, It was absolutely worth it. Being a computerholic drains one's energy and creativity if not properly balanced with "living." <br><br>There's nothing like pain and endorphins to remind you of how great it is to be alive ;-) I've been pretty guilty of living in front of the computer lately.

Little more than an hour ago, I went jogging for the first time in about 18 months. Right now I feel absolutely fantastic. Sure, it was difficult, painful, and I'm probably going to be regretting it tomorrow. However, It was absolutely worth it. Being a computerholic drains one's energy and creativity if not properly balanced with “living.”

There's nothing like pain and endorphins to remind you of how great it is to be alive ;-)

I have lived enough years to have seen many changes as you speak of. It started out slowly with only offices with a huge computer and then homes. Then we had cable, internet & MOBILE phones. Who would've guessed? To show how fast technology moves, & it was slow in the 80's, I remember 8 track tapes, 3 channels on TV & vinyl records being our only choices. The thing I see is our children born i the 80's do not remember not having our current luxeries. So of course as technology gets more creative and stronger, you guys see all of this as normal and can't imagine life without it. I am so sorry for all of you who will never live in a manuel world. It was great...no obesity, we didn't need a calculator, we cooked food from a garden<br>& cherished our grandparents who told us wonderful stories. I'll say to anyone who will listen. Please pay attention to the world around you. Look back sometimes in your own life. Remember the lives your parents, grandparents & those before. Perhaps you can train yourself to slow down & breathe the air. Don't let your mind be trained by the "TECH" world to make you feel you need Every New Gadget. Do something for yourself. Dial a phone, talk to your mother or best friend voice to voice.<br>Human interaction, What a concept. <br>Thanks Adam Babylon…..As you know I am considered middle aged now (weird).
