Some People I Know

While people like me get a high from having the latest model cellphone in their backpocket (which can record video, organize schedules and very soon, cure the common cold) and a Pentium 4 Extreme, DSL-connected desktop waiting at home, others are not as handicapped.

Some people I know detest the ills that technology has done to the world.

Some people I know stay loyal to their ancient Ericsson T28 with a broken ringer, rationalizing that they prefer their mobile phones on perpetual vibrate mode anyway.

Some people I know text in unabbreviated correctly-spelled words; because to them, anything else would "feel wrong".

Some people I know have no television in their bedroom because they prefer to read. Ergo, they have not been polluted by a single reality show episode.

Some people I know are perversely intimidated by the Internet. They go on-line only to check their email. They do not sit in their office cubicles, masquerading blog surfing as work.

Some people are every unlike me. Very much like Marga.
