I know . . .I know..
It's good that I am a geek, but some days, I am so so tempted to go buy a new phone. I don't need one..I just want every new stinkin' device that comes out. I have started letting all the little children play with my phone with the mindset that if they break it or drop it or whatever, then it's an omen that it's time for a new phone. I want ice cream sandwich, too, but I'm not willing to switch from ATT so I guess I'll be wanting for a few months.
I had an assignment for this new class, Organizational Behaviors, to talk about what I see happening in 5-25 years with behaviors in organizations. I found this somewhat difficult, and kept going over what has happened in the last 5-25 years with technology. I can only imagine how technology will influence changed behaviors. I suppose there will be much more connectivity to the workplace from anywhere, if that is possible. I like how in the last 5 years my job has changed so that if it is necessary it is quite possible for me to seamlessly work from home or the ball field, imagine how in the future maybe we won't even have to have physical locations. I can see the good and the bad with that. I am a social person, so I can see missing out on interaction with non-verbal ques. Already there are quite a few misunderstandings because of text and email.
So this reminded me of the first time I had a truly euphoric feeling about technology in general. So, I have this retina disease that I've had many surgeries for. Basically, it could detach and does in certain areas and so I have to have it tacked back to the wall of my eyes from time to time. There is much more to this..and I could go into some yucky details, but that's for another blog...maybe tomorrow...Anyway, everyone who has ever had to explain it to me, tells me that my eyes look like swiss cheese with all the holes. I went to see my regular eye doctor a year ago, and he asked me if I wanted pictures taken...Seriously, I have them, so i will post them in another blog...but . . .he took pictures of the INSIDE of my eye and emailed them to me. He also took pictures of my sons so that I could compare. I remember feeling like...NO FREAKING WAY...that is so cool..
Imagine the global impact with all of the technology that is heading our way. And Whoa can you think of the houses computer systems..it really could be like Hawaii Five O...where they have the virtual air projection that they can slide with a hand movement. Well actually we already have this technology with the XBox 360 Kinect. Yeah that's right, I have one of those, too. My kid is a bit spoiled and he likes gadgets and games, too, but he gets it honestly. Also, I can't really blame him, because I buy them for me to play with sometimes, too. Almost salivating about his Christmas gifts. I was going to open them ahead of time and play them while he was gone, but nah..i can wait. I'm also anxiously awaiting the new Wii technology. Nintendo is freaking awesome.
Wonder if the new iPhone 5 will have 3D capability? I really like the look of the new RAZR..yeah that was a bit random, but that's what the whole blog is. I am quite random, and you don't know the half of how scary that is.
OH BTW - I got a new flower last night. It's another orchid, of course...I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I named him Punkin...and . . He's pink and yellow, but I feel like he's a him, so he is. I'll post a picture after I take one. He is very zen feeling. I walked by him at Kroger and had to have him. I wish I could explain how much I liked orchids. They are absolutely wonderful.
