“The healots are coming! The healots are coming!” So said Walter Brennan in Frank Capra’s wonderful movie John Doe with Gary Cooper and my very favorite actress Barbara Stanwyck. In it Cooper plays a ballplayer-turned-hobo , who’ll do anything for three squares and a place to sleep. When newspaper publisher D.B. Norton (Edward Arnold), a fascistic type [...]

I have heard so many people including my ex-wife say “I cannot use a computer it’s too difficult.”” They say this like it’s a badge of honor. Like clinging to the past is an appropriate way to honor their generation. This is akin to the car enthusiast who buys a car which he drove as [...]

True story (as comics always say) I was in the emergency room at our local hospital. I was waiting to talk to the billing person when two distraught parents came in helping their son to the receptionist area. It looked like he had a head injury because he was loosely bandaged and there was some [...]

I just read an article the other day in the LA Times “Parade Magazine” entitled “Born to be Wired”. It talks about how children of today are becoming so wired-up their brains are in danger of being rewired. Am I surprised by this? Should you be? No is the answer. This is what I would [...]

Really? You think this is too much? Take a look around right now and see how many people are on their phones. Especially young girls. Are they giggling or pointing at the cellular screen? If you’re on the subway and the car is full most people are on cellphones. They are caught up in cyber [...]

Do we need a squirrel to tell us how foolish we can be? We adults are constantly trying to recapture our youth and getting injuries because of it. Is it worth the time and energy we put into it? The money we spend on equipment to fuel these habits? Not withstanding the medical bills! Imagine [...]

As adults continue to jump into technology their enthusiasm may be met with total embarrassment by their own children. After all we adults are invading their twittersphere, storming the facebook crowd and God forbid doing business over social media outlets once meant for college students to talk about raves and beer bashes. The clash between [...]
Cellphone City

Is a city made of cellphones so hard to believe? Maybe literally but certainly not metaphorically. Cellphones have helped to created communities and changed societies. Remember Egypt? Ok so maybe a 30 story cellphone is a little too farfetched but how about a set of buildings built to resemble the cellphone? The builder could get [...]

I suppose it’s time to start adding new medical terminology to the lexicon of aches and pains we are all experiencing using new technology.
