In Leau of the Mayhem just in time for an American Election ?

An aside for an election with really only two count'em only two candidates for "Ceasar" (ahem excuse me) I mean "President" . Along comes a hurricane just in time -well who woulda thunk it. I grew up in Texas and I can't say I really remember any hurricanes or storms of this magnitude around during this time of the year. And that part of America has had a few. Global climate change or our own inability to grew up and turn a corner in evolution?- I don't know pick your hemlock.

Cell phone and Internet and Expansion Technology

Commentary

I left Texas years ago. I had begun to get tired of so-called friends more interested in themselves and careers and what they would do to get there. Unfortunately, it took me a while to realize some of this. I got tired of the prejudice, I got tired of the dead-ends,the lay-offs and the minimum wage ( - minimum wage at this time, in Texas, was about $5 to $6 at the time. upon my arrivaI in California the summer of 1996 ,my first employment wage was $10 per hour entry level. Though the cost of living was a bit steeper, there were other compensations..)

  Moving to California for the second time in my lifetime, and of course I expected some prejudice because that's just the way it is for African Americans-right. We all expect it and what a pity that is. But I must say I didn't expect the erosion of privacy that has been occurring because of the ever encroaching need for corporations, cyberstalkers and businesses  I've never even heard of, needing to know where everyone is on the globe. Google has been recently sued again over their information gathering technology for Google earth. After-all, it was just a glitch right-yeah right. Kinda like the ones that happened recently to the American and the Tokyo stock markets. Check out these articles:

  Is buying public at large( most of you) recognizing this erosion or not?  These technologies have been ingratiated into your regular workaday and personal lives. So doing something about it-like complaining to the FCC or signing a petition just doesn't seem to cross your youthful minds- I'll bet. It's no big deal to you.  Frankly, I think that it's just too much input for the human mind to deal with instantaneously. I suspect that it started with multi-task training. So brain augmentation is, I have no doubt,  just hiding obliquely in the grassy Knoll of a research and development department somewhere. And like every other new doo-dad, it's the wealthy that will get it first-Mam. Not that I would want it- because I won't. My cell phone is used for storage- only. A goodly portion of  the consumer public at large doesn't really question how these cell phone and Internet industries effect the state of our living environment. It's just another big fat joke to you. Something for you to sit around and cackle over like bunch of old ranch hands.You should respect the fact that for those of us that it is a big deal, aren't given any kind of option to steer clear of the jerk texting while driving and not paying attention to the road. I just don't dig it man and I don't care if you don't understand that, but I believe you should.

     Proliferation by momentum perpetually creating a certain kind of back-slapping- I got your back attitude. Especially among some so-called Whites and educated African Americans.

   A certain prize winning party tried this crap on me-once. Throwing his weight around in a very public situation at a convention in Dallas. This was before cell phones. I told him if he had a problem with me we could step outside and settle it. With that ,I heard from just across the aisle some comment from one of his lackey friends. I would have told this lackey that it was none of his damned business

( and that's a very loose translation of what I would have actually said in that moment). But I was more concentrated on the thief in front of me.   This is what I'm talking about when it comes to dealing with what is your personal business and the other person you're communicating with. A one on one situation is just that. Now- had there been cell phones in that moment,take my word for it. I'm sure this very same lackey and all the rest of 'em would have been tweeting stupid remarks. Now, not only do we have to deal with people who hide behind reputations and a certain hypocrisy of hierarchy of prejudice in this country(professional or otherwise), we also have to deal with securing our personal privacy from the prying technology in this information driven age.

Citizens here in America under the age of thirty, now hardly know what it's like to have a certain kind quiet even in cities. A certain privacy and personal space, we all took it for granted. Americans of my generation enjoyed that entirely and we know what it like to live without it. Now can anyone go shopping without someone else rolling up having a nonsensical cell phone conversation? Tweeting or whatever, not involved with the living natural environment around them and not paying attention or have we totally just forgotten how to do that? Now don't get me wrong I know there are upsides to these technologies,but why can't more of us use them for just  that?
