Priority changes
In the mail today came my yearly bill from my cable provider. I was kind of surprised, I thought I had cancelled the service, because i haven't watched a single program on the tube for the last year. Turns out I had just turned it off but forgot to notify my cable provider. I opted for the yearly charge a long time ago because it was 15% less than quarterly installments. Thought I did the smart thing, now I'm stuck with the charges through April 30, 2013 (I cancelled today but the payment is up front).
This made me realize that between hanging here and reading on my e-Readers my need for entertainment (thank you, Fbone et. al.) is completely filled. Modern technology has actually induced me to retrocede to the 19th century, when reading was all you had, no wireless, no cinema. I'm even conceited enough to believe that it has made me a better person, more active, using more brain power, forcing myself to think more, selecting my entertainment.
Something I would never have dreamed of when I put in my order at Amazon. This in pretty much two years time. Makes me wonder if I'm the only one who has gone through this dramatic social change?
