Due to a compromised debit card,
I spent the better part of a day
contacting utilities and other
companies with whom I applied
my payments for services and
products rendered.
What a royal pain in the ass
communicating with automated
telecommunication systems and
live customer service reps who I
could barely understand.
The more technologically pro-
ficient society becomes, it seems
the more complicated things
become.
As I have grown older and less
adaptable to radical change, I
have tried my best to simplify my
life. The rest of the world, how-
ever, seems bent on confusing and
even eliminating prehistoric creatures
such as I.
The dinosaurs were incapable of
preventing their inevitable exstinc-
tion.
A state-wide power outage due to
ice, snow and sub-freezing temper-
atures caused havoc to Texas and
its residents recently. And this sort
of calamity is on the rise in our
world due to climate change.
Try using your debit card or calling
for help during an an emergency when
the technology fails.
Call me a Neanderthal, but being
obliterated on impact by an asteroid
strike seems a far more humane way
to go.
Just saying…
