Technology Freaks Me Out

October 25, 2008

This is so freaky! You buy a t-shirt that has your very own logo.  You then, somehow, add your websites such as facebook and myspace to your logo.  You then download an application on your camera phone and when you see someone wearing a W-41 t-shirt, you can take a picture of their logo, which will then link you to their myspace, facebook, or whatever else they decide to put on their logo. THEN, you can stalk them, message them, etc.  I still don’t think I fully understand this.  What happened to, ya know, just talking to someone?  I personally like to know someone’s name before I start messaging them on facebook or myspace.  I don’t know.  I thought this is what 1984 warned us about.  But people are choosing to do this to themselves.  Soon, will have scanners in our wrists or our brains and everyone will know all our personal information the second we walk into a door, so why not just do it to ourselves, right?  Make sure everyone can find me on the internets.  I would love getting myspace and facebook messages from random dudes who are looking at my back.  Yes.  Yes, I would.  I also love attention…

In other completely unrelated news, I just watched the movie, “Iron Jawed Angels” and if you are female you need to watch this.  All women should understand the suffering that women went through in order for us to have the right to vote.  These women were almost beaten to death in prison. They were fed disgusting food with worms. One of the leaders, Alice Paul, was force fed because she refused to eat while in prison.  President Wilson tried to accuse her of being insane, and had a psychiatrist try to diagnose her as insane (so she can be permanently locked up in a mental institution).  The psychiatrist knew she wasn’t and said, “courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.”  Anyway, all women should watch this movie.  If not, you should vote.  Duh.
