Tech-mology

Could everybody just slow down for a second?
It’s not a novel idea to lament how cellphones, email, text messaging and the interwebs have caused us to speed multitaskingly through our days, but I have two complaints… or at least some nostalgia for the old landline days.
1) As baseball season approaches, and my NY Mets will inaugurate their new stadium, I was excited to dig up the awesome pictures I have from Shea. I had close-ups of the dug-out, behind home plate, even of Game 5 in 2000 (boo). Then it hit me that all those photos were taken on a cellphone- meaning they don’t exist anymore… just like the stadium (eventually, once it’s been fully dissected and auctioned piecemeal).
2) Doctors and cab drivers text message too. God bless, ‘em (doctors), they save peoples lives, and I do like taking cabs everywhere except across town, but those are two jobs where divided attention is enough to put me on meds.
Here’s what I have to offer instead of a photo of my favorite old eyesore Shea:
