Here we are everyone. Dusting off the old, bringing in the new. I feel like I just walked into an abandoned nuclear silo. Nothing works, but the ideas, feelings, and utter insanity still exist.

We are back. We have a lot to say, and a lot of it is not nice, fair, politically correct or even relevant. But dammit we sure in hell are going to say what is on our minds.

The last post I left everyone before I went underground was a write up titled, “Technology will kill us all”. Technology consumes us in almost every aspect of everything we do, what would happen if it all went dark? Really think about how your life would be affected.

In a world of cubicle dwelling trolls and multi-function printers I sometimes think to myself did our founding fathers of technology foresee this to happen?

I still feel the same, I feel it even more today. Technology will kill us all. But we already know this, right? So what do we continue to do? We take a breather, we step outside, breathe deep, relax, turn off, cut the cables. When was the last time you did this ?

Are we so far ingrained in technology that our society is bound to crumble. Do you ever feel helpless to this monster? Why cant we ignore it, why cant we get out?

We pray for devices, applications, bandwidth, thinking they will solve all of life’s problems, always consuming the new “news”. It use to be we only needed the one you loved, a warm place to sleep, a good healthy meal, and an 8 hour nights rest. Not anymore, we pray for better 4G coverage, LTE licensing, more memory, faster processors, quicker services, richer content, who has the most virtual friends & followers, everything on demand. We have lost touch with what life is suppose to bring us. Happiness!

Now a lot of people think they have found happiness in a device, in a app, a service, etc. I cant judge what makes another human being happy, and neither can you. We all find happiness in different places, who am I to say that your new FourSquare app does not bring you happiness. I mean who doesn’t want to let all your friends and strangers know where you are at all times? I mean its you being “Social” right? Why would you want to interact face to face with other humans when you can check in with them by tapping into a 3.7 inch screen while you are getting coffee. Screw talking, I’ll just tweet you my order barista.

So lets get back to Reality!

The power of technology is endless, and awesome. But we need to sometimes put the brakes on the endless dribble that comes out on a daily basis. We have some of the most brilliant minds working on projects that hinder humanity instead of progress it forward. We bare our souls to search engines and social networking. Before technology other humans did that with other humans.

So what I want you to do today is make a “Human Connection”. Start up a conversation with the interface of reality playing. No, handhelds, no tweeting, no facebooking, or instant messaging. Shake some one’s hand, go talk to them face to face.

SBG Out.
