Hey! What Happened To Television and all the times we sat in front of it as a family and watched our favorite shows?
Well for one thing T.V has become more of a hobby these days with all the advancement of computers and smartphones, and let’s not forget our interactions with each other thru Social media. I remember growing up in the 60′s and 70′s when there was really no such thing as computers or smartphones and the way we communicated with each other from distances was usually by Telephone (Land line) remember that? Hmmmm .
Or possibly sitting down and pulling out your trusty old Pen and Paper to let those close to you know that your still here and your doing just fine. And of course to tell them how much you miss them too.
Yes,those were the days. Now I’m sure there are many people who still enjoy writing to friends and family and that is still one of the Best ways other than by phone to keep in touch with those in your life.
What an impact Technology in general has on our daily lives in this new age.
Now we spend much of our time and energy just trying to keep up the latest changes that can be a great big learning hurdle for a lot of us today. But all is not lost,there is still hope for those of us who continue to take it all in stride and go about our day and really try not to worry about how fast things are moving.
I for one enjoy Learning new things that can enhance my personal journey as I go thru life. It’s a blessing in disguise really, a kind of test to see if I’m paying attention to what’s going on around us.
When the negative side of life starts to creep in to my little corner of this world, there are many avenues that I frequently consider and act upon to keep me focused and on track to where I want to go. I don’t watch the News…at all! I prefer to bide my precious time wisely by delving into those activities that will only enrich and empower my purpose.
Like books for example,there are literally hundreds of thousands of Inspirational and uplifting stories and fundamentals on how to change your life around to move you in the right direction. So many great authors have created some works of art for sure. I love the book “Think And Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and the simple step by step fundamentals that are taught that will surely change your thinking about how and where to expend your energies and skills.
A lot can be said about how we should be spending our time and energy to create a positive outcome in our busy and sometimes monotonous routine of our days.
Why should we spend our time and energy participating in things that only keep us from moving forward spiritually and positively? The time is now to start entertaining that side of you that’s urging you to stand up and Focus on the things that matter most in your life.
So what Happened to the T.V? Well I can tell you one thing for sure,it still sits there in the corner of the living room. Only now, it’s a bit more lonely these days.
Don’t watch the News! It’s all Bad…..
God Bless.
