Digital leash

 

I saw this on Linked In yesterday and thought it fit me and most of my friends to a T.

We have lost the war to our digital overlords without a signup sheet or a shot being fired.

I would trade my apple car play for a working cd player any time.

I don't like Google straining my phone conversation or email so that people can sell me products.

Don't make me rate my transaction with every anonymous voice in the Philippines or India I contact when I am trying to talk to the bank or mortgage company.

Not fair to them or me.

I don't need the phone or computer suggesting how I should talk or respond to a letter.

Give me a paper menu and two orange juice cans held to each other with a long piece of string for communication and I will function quite well.

Call me analog man.

Glory Hallelujah!! It is true! Since our masters have decided we should live in a digital hell so they can get rich, there is nothing we can do but resist at every turn. All hail the Luddite Revolution!!
