Another great post, Anne! When I see something like this, I can't help but see my cell phone and realize, "We're not far from that!"

I know! Way too close! We've been skillfully programmed in this direction from the start with these friggin' cell phones! Sea change desperately needed!

I’ve worked in the tech industry for 20 years now. I used to be in love with all things tech-related. But the more integrated these things get into our lives, the more scared I get.

Go buy a physical book and sit in the sun!

Always enjoy your posts - I just scanned my hand to see the doctor.

Can you explain this?

Anne Gibbons's avatar

Thank you, Yvette! Did they scan your hand as a way of identifying you?

It’s so scary how all this is sold as convenience and people just eat it up. Just like most have with all things Covid

Anne Gibbons's avatar

Yes, exactly! Thanks, FedUpInOR!

Another great one Anne. I wonder how many humans will flock to do this because they think it's cool and convenient? Miss you friend!

Thank you, Susan, I miss you, too. Hoping people won't flock to this horrid thing, but I won't be surprised if they do. :-(

Love is the cure,

for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain

until your eyes constantly exhale love

as effortlessly as your body yields its scent. Rumi
