How spoiled we are!

Some of you may not remember what they call "the good ol' days" when we were all less "high tech" (which is what my grandson calls it).
I'm talking about the days of no computers, no cell phones, no iPods, no phone answering machines or caller ID, no video games, no high definition wide screen cable TV with a menu of all the shows and information of what each and every channel is about....and no remotes.

Amazing of how we forget those days and have gotten used to our fancy high tech items that have spoiled us and we haven't even realized it.........until we loose it.

This morning my sweet hubby stretched his arm out and bumped his coffee cup sitting on the table next to his chair. Apparently some spilled onto the TV remote. It has since decided not to work---at all.
After shaking it and pushing buttons for several minutes we knew it wasn't working. Then we realized we were doomed. It is Sunday. The cable company is not open on Sundays.
We will now need to go back to the cave man days and actually GET UP AND WALK over to the television and use the buttons on the TV to change both the channels and the volume!
Ya know, you just don't realize how many times you change the channels and need to adjust the volume AND here where I live we have a cable company that has about 950 channels to choose from! We also have a high definition televison and guess what---- if you push the channel changer on the TV instead of the cable box it goes to the regular vision and not the high definition and it won't go back.
So today if we want to watch TV at all it's not only get up to change the channels and volume but we also get to watch everything with a snowy fuzz all over the screen! yeah!

So it's a good excuse to read books,take the dog for a walk, do laundry and all the other things we are so blessed to have available to us.
Just a good reminder of how spoiled we do get to these new fancy products of the world.
