Electronic Flooding

Electronic flooding is a term (I think I read this term somewhere) applicable for a lot of people and you could be one of them. How?

Are you one of those who, upon waking up, check their emails first or go online to read about the latest happening worldwide?

Do you eat breakfast or lunch or dinner or all these meals with your mobile phone or netbook turned on beside your plate?

Must you know who commented or what comments came in your posted status update in your favorite social networking sites?

If you said “yes” to these, then you are definitely hooked on your gadgets.

Yes, not only do you accumulate these plethora of electronics but you are hooked to these like these are your lifeline. And when you have been away from your gadget for several minutes, you feel like everything will go wrong and the sky would fall down on you. An exaggeration of course but then again, this could be true.

When was the last time you ever finished a book? A real book?

When was the last time you sent and received a hand-written letter? When was the last time you turned off your gadget to concentrate on playing with your child(ren) and spending real bonding with them?

Electronic flooding makes the brain lose focus. Read on and see what it does to your brain. And mine too.

Crocs, Foursquare and Farmville Among Time’s 50 Worst Inventions

I know a lot of Crocs, Foursquare and Farmville fans/users will not like the inclusion of these three products in Time.com The 50 Worst Inventions.

I don’t have a pair of Crocs. I don’t want to broadcast my location to the whole world through Foursquare. I don’t waste time tending to my virtual farm.

Ok I admit, I still have a virtual farm but I have been a negligent farmer for a long time already. I’d rather do something about my age spots than plow and plant in my virtual farm.

Which reminds me, the house needs a thorough cleaning and I will get to that as soon as I am done cooking in my virtual restaurant  😀

Online Shopping with Ayos Dito

School year 2010 – 2011 will be starting two weeks from now and we are on the look-out for school supplies. Being home-bound on most days, I thought of looking for these things we need online and turned to classified ads just in case I won’t be able to go to the mall to buy what the children need.

And I found this bag over at AyosDito.ph.

For a price of PhP1,000, it is a good bargain because the bag looks roomy to contain all my son’s books and yet looks sturdy enough to last through the school year. Plus I don’t have to get tired going to the mall and choosing the best bag from so many alternatives to choose from. Expenses can double too especially with the children going with me and wanting to dine there.

ABS-CBN Harapan

Last night’s Harapan involved several candidates running for Senate slots.

I had to stop reading about affordable life insurance quotes to concentrate on what the candidates have to say.

I decided to log-in to my Twitter account to follow the #harapan tweets and read what comments of others. There seem to be a consensus among those tweets on who performed best by being verbally proficient and sounding sincere.

Hubby and I finished the show. I still read  few tweets about it plus tweets about flooding in #Nashville. I hope people are safe there since there have been calls for help and that our Photo Hunter TNChick and her family is safe.

iPad

I am not one who go goo-goo and gaga over tech gadgets and tech toys not because (mainly) I don’t have the budget for these things but because I know that whatever is news today would be old news after a few days.

Like this iPad which is NOT mine:

iPad

Looks pretty neat huh?

So I take back what I wrote about not going gaga over tech gadgets because shhh… I want one like this because of the features.

It would be great to be able to access a lot of things like my mail, my photos, YouTube, iTunes, maps, iBooks and so much more.

Now my mom wouldn’t get mad at me if I don’t find the joint health supplements page she needs to read pronto because  I know if I have one like this, I wouldn’t put it down 😀
