Some Thoughts On The Longest Day of the Year

What a time we live in. The Information Age! Information at your fingertips. The world in our laptop. Social media. Matchmaking websites. News, Entertainment, Shopping. Promotion of talent, ideas, agendas, even oneself.
If we're not careful, we live our lives online - we become "online addicts", fritter away our time and lose our connection to the "real world".
I remember when I used the computer only for word processing and email. Typewriters by the wayside. "Snail Mail" largely by the wayside. Bills paid online.
Now, I spend a great deal of time on the computer, doing business, genealogy, family history projects, connecting with friends, collecting recipes. doing research on numerous subjects, and engaging in discussions of the social and political issues of the day.
I sometimes yearn for the simplicity of my life b.c. (before computers and the net.) So here I am blogging about it. Anyone can now be an author of written material published for the whole world to read. Blog, blog, blog.
