Thanks so much for posting that music video. It really does speak to my ambivalence about new technology. I do appreciate the convenience, but I don't like the feeling of obligation to automatically use "new-and-improved". I do like country music- especially in the summertime, so in the spirit of that song I'm going to head out for a walk to the little creek about 1.5km from my house, but I'll post this first, and take my digital camera and cell phone!
OK - made me laugh! What a wonderful reminder to stay grounded. And, a fun way to use what we've learned - Thanks. P.S. Mr. Jackson is a native to our hometown and a great fund raiser for the community, still. We love him and his family down South!
Good Stuff, funny lyrics. I think this song is mirroring the sentiments of most folks that didn't grow up with computers, or hundreds of TV channels, or cell phones. We are still "old school" at heart, and still know how to enjoy the "simple things". We can only hope that the current generation is encouraged to enjoy the wonders of the non-digital world.
