Are We Too Addicted to Computers?

I tackle this question in my latest Pajamas Media column. It’s perhaps my dumbest column yet… or my most smartiest!

  1. Frank, your Mom told my Mom to tell me to tell you that your article is very good. Now can we get back to building that fort?

    Actually it IS funny. Yeah…pilots. Pilates. Pontious Pilates. I hate those guys, except when I’m in the plane too. Must be one of the weirdest jobs out there. Your day is basically filled with mundane check-ups, reading commands, walking entire lengths of airports, smelling the air in the jet getting staler and staler, like walking into a 7th-period school classroom where periods 1 thru 6 the same classroom was filled with kids who previously ran around the track during gym. And didn’t shower.
    All this mundaneness, followed by moments of sheer terror trying to take off like a rocket and land like a floating baseball card in a contraption the size of a hotel and you’re so far up front in it you might as well be strapped to the windshield outside. AAAAAAAA!!!

    I scared myself.

  2. Hey Corona,
    you forgot the snakes on the plane, the gremlins walking on the wing, and the poisonous airline fish dinners.
    That job is boredom, punctuated with moments of sheer terror.

    Addicted to computers? Nah, If I was an addict, I would have googled links to all those movies referenced above and included them in my comment.

    Nope, no addiction here…
    Not at all… hmm…
    Rats,
    rats ,
    rats.

  3. smirtest column indeed! how did you know i was looking at my computer? Anyway, Fred Thompson’s “Rules for Reactionaries” requires punching at least 1 hippie per day in RW. Hunting them down and running them over in GTA does not count.

  4. That’s going to be tough to do. Oh, I can give up my computer, no problem, but drawing something that looks like anything is gonna’ be almost impossible for me. Is something in the style of Pollock acceptable?

    (note to law enforcement: You can cross me off that list of possible art forgers.)

  5. “Plus, people were limited to hunting things that were easy to draw.”

    That line made me LOL! That’s the sort of off-the-(cave)wall humor that leads me to believe that my two grueling years of Art History class were totally worthwhile. So dumb or not, I applaud Frank’s clearly superior intellect. More please!
