TECH LUDDITE CON'T.

MORE LUDDITE PERSISTENCE.
IS TiVO PRONOUNCED TIEVO OR TEEVO WHETHER I CAN DEFINE IT OR NOT?
WHY IS IT WIRELESS IF THE WORLD'S PEOPLES ARE MORE WIRED THAN EVER BEFORE?
DOES DIGITAL REFER TO MY FINGERS OR TO DIALING?
WHY WOULD I YAHOO IF I'M ASSOCIATING WITH BRUTES AND BOORS FROM GULLIVER'S TRAVELS?
WHY WOULD I GOOGLE IF I DON'T FLIRT?
WHY NAME A TV, PLASMA AFTER BLOOD?
WHY NAME A TV, HD OR LCD WHEN ADD (ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER)IS OBVIOUSLY NEEDED FOR TELEVISION VIEWING TODAY?
IS BOSE A MISSPELLING OF BOISE, IDAHO?
IS CYBERSPACE WHERE STAR TREK VENTURED?
IS A PIXEL RELATED TO PIXAR STUDIOS WHOSE FILMS I HAVEN'T SEEN?
ARE MP PLAYERS USED BY MILITARY PERSONNEL?
DOES A LAPTOP REFER TO THE PLACE I PREFER TO SIT ON CHILLY NITES?
A GAME BOY AND A PLAYSTATION REFER - FOR ME- TO MY LIFE PARTNER.
I FORSWEAR THE REMOTE CONTROL, MULTITUDINOUS POWER LEVELS AND PROGRAMMABLE GADGETS.

ASTRIDE MY RIDING MOWER, I RARELY PONDER TECHIE THINGS.
WHAT I DO PONDER IS AMERICA'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE MOWING MACHINE. THE NEED TO MOW AND MOW, ROW AFTER ROW IN A MINDLESS SHOW OF AFFECTION FOR THE PASSAGE OF TIME, SHORT GRASS AND NOISY HORSEPOWER.
HORSEPOWER - NOW THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN RELATE TO.
