Too much computer in daily life?

So I learned last night that there's a little too much computer in our lives. They've become too worked in to everyday fabric.

I'm giving my girl a light massage on her shoulder shen she says "Scroll down...."

It's been up and running for 6 hours! I'm supposed to call somebody, right? Having a memory problem, very ankshus! Bernouilli? He crashed back in the 18th century. Billy Gates? Yeah, right!

Oh wait - it's taking a dump (that's helped in the past).

Got rid of WifeOS 1.0 and got girlfriendOS 5.0 ... needless to say but my machine is running much better. I also installed nagblock 2.0 and it's amazing how fast the shut down times are getting. Obviously, my filtering setup is getting better

Most women like to have their 'mouse' rolled all about and double-right-clicked occasionally.

Try to go for three days without looking at some sort of display screen - computer, TV, cell phone, etc. Bet you can't do it.

We've become a society made hopelessly stupid and dependent on the CRT screen (and its newer, LCD versions). Very phony existences we live.
