Publisher Ponders! August 2008
August 10, 2008
A friend of mine ask me the other day (yea, I do have one) what I felt was the biggest technology step in my generation of X. I had to stop & think. Hmmm. Okay since I can’t parallel park, and ride around the block 20 times to find a “pull in” space, it would have to be the parallel parking Lexus! I had a vision of a shiny black one & gold wheel covers. Tim said, “No, really, something you can afford.” Okay, so back to reality. I guess it would have to be the internet. How wonderful is it to have all the answers to everything right at our fingertips, and entertains us for hours….. Did I say entertain? Believe it or not the internet with its connection to world also has created many legal problems, to the point Cyber Laws are now manifesting due to many of the crimes that are globally committed with this wonderful technology; rip-offs, fraud, porn, and crimes involving children. I ponder “what impact does this global technology have on us as a society?” This brings me to our new column coming in September-“Wellness Time” This question and many others will feature the counseling team at Catoctin Wellness Center. Larry Stouder, and staff will bring us the answers for how technology is changing our daily lives, behavior, and how to cope with it all. Larry’s staff of adult and children counselors will answer some of the challenges that face us as a society.
