My first foray into electronic communication was a pager. I had a job in 1993 that required field work and my supervisor wanted to be able to contact me. It was also convenient for my partner and children.
The only person who didn’t like the pager was me! I felt tethered. It felt weird for people to be able to reach me all the time. I tend to be a private person.
Fast forward to today when EVERYTHING is public. Most of the folks at the gym spend more time posing and recording their every muscle, than they do actually working out. We “follow “ each other rather than having relationships.
And much to my wife’s annoyance, I often forget my phone at home, or in the car, sigh. I am certainly not one who has a phone on my wrist. In Mexico no one calls each other anyway. They use WhatsApp, a texting application which is rarely used in the States.
Don’t get me wrong, I love hearing from people. I enjoy the comments on the blog, Facebook and Instagram (dos_tortas). I guess I’m more a product of the times than I want to admit. But anytime you want to have a conversation, just let me know, we’ll set it up.
