    It’s kind of like those old sci-fi movies where technology kills off the human race and takes over the planet. We’re only in the first stages of the takeover.

    My phone has a flashlight and a FM radio. I pay little attention to it. Unless it rings.

Leave the phone in your purse or pocket and drive. Your digital world will still be there when you arrive at your destination.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    What, that I posted while sitting on the shitter? That's where I do some of my best work. Maybe you can guess where I'm posting now? If you took the hint and guessed "shitter", you'd be correct.

    TMI? Blame mattiooo. :-p

    Its a huge problem. I commute downtown most days and get to see quite a bit. People running into the back of other cars, swerving, going the speed limit in the left lane of I-25 (why), and dangerous driving in general. When I get a chance to look at the person in question, they are either 1) texting, or 2) talking on their phone. Sad.

    I’m throwing the B.S. flag on this. I’ve never seen anyone doing the speed limit on I-25 regardless of the lane.

    I commuted from Thornton to Ft. Collins every day for 10 years. Every time I thought I had seen everything, someone would come up with a different kind of stupid.

    People texting, talking, eating cereal, doing makeup, reading papers or books...the list goes on.

    No matter what speed I drove, I was either getting run over or running someone down.

    One day, I decided to punch in 70 mph in the cruise control. I let traffic flow by, it was ok. Until I nearly rear-ended a guy doing 45 mph. WTF?
