"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Why Have a Device that Does Only One Thing?

God question is it not?

"On way you can tell Gutenbergers from Googlers? Check their wrists. Googlers rarely wear a watch.  `Why would you want a device that only does one thing?' one of them replied when I asked, `Where's your watch?'  They have Iphones, IPads, Androids, mobiles, and Blackberries that put the equivalent of a newsstand, a library, a shopping mall, a jukebox, a video camera, and a high-tech communications center at their finger tips. Soon a handheld device also will double as your wallet, credit card, keys, bank, remote control, airline ticket, video conferencing center, and  thousand other nonvoice uses. Gurenbergers use technology, often reluctantly. Googlers live technology." Viral pg 136
