Learning A Lesson All Over Again

I may have known of a problem back in
February 21, 2014.
My
Post
Lesson Learned
says I recognized this fact.
Yet,
it does not mean I was cured of the problem.
I still cannot put it down! 
 ****
It took a while for me to realize,
I haven't written anything on this
Blog
for such a long time.

I got caught up in the
Technology
the kids are really into today.

That's right,
I'm hooked,
and I can't put my
Cellphone
down!

Once you download a bunch of
Games,
which are designed to be addicting,
Apps,
which are absolutely necessary for your survival,
and all of the latest
Social Media Platforms,
how else can you talk to your friends,
you believe that these things will make your life a whole lot better.

Wrong!
It makes life cluttered.
Cellphone Companies
are pretty smart about what they offer you when you get your first phone.

They automatically add
Apps
so you can get on the
Internet,
E-mail,
Text Message,
Video Stream,
and the most popular
Social Networks
like
Facebook
and
Twitter.

So,
your average son
or daughter has everything on one simple device without spending an extra thousand dollars for a computer,
where half of the functions will never be used by the average individual anyways.

That is why computer sales are down.

There is nothing wrong with that.
Things change all the time in
Life.

What got me thinking though,
is how much time I am wasting doing nothing.

Except playing games.
That is important.

I have spent hours on my phone when I could have been 
Writing,
Reading,
Playing With My Grandchildren,
or,
just having quality time with my
Adult Kids.

I thought I had a great idea when I got
Microsoft Word
on my cellphone,
so I could continue my writing.

I thought I was writing some pretty good stuff,
until I transferred a story to my computer
and it turned out to be a train wreck.

Writing on a phone you can only see one
or two sentences at a time,
as you write.

The paragraphs came out jumbled
and inconsistent.

Writing on the big screen,
of your computer,
you can see a paragraph
or two,
all at once
and it's easier to keep the flow of the story going smoothly.

So I had to put down my cellphone,
even though the withdrawals were horrific,
and turn on my computer.

It felt so amazing.

Like I was back home again.

Lesson learned.

I hope I have helped someone else out there in
Cellphone Hell
with this advice
and I hope I have warned someone away from the devilish "Cellphone Trap!"

This is,

I Would Never Change My Status While Walking

Unless I Had Something Important To Say,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“What I like best about cell phones is that I can talk to myself in the car now and nobody thinks it's weird.”
- Ron Brackin -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
