And the bulletin board and the calendar and the daytimer and the sticky notes and the recipe box and the 45 cookbooks and the TV or stereo and the laptop and the recipe card attached to the fridge with a magnet, and yes, maybe even the phone. Turns out all you need for the kitchen is an iPad.

Because that's what every household needs...to be completely surrounded with 'screens'.
ReplyDeleteWhy interact with your kids when you can have a perpetually running slideshow of cute photos of them gracing your workspace? However, I could go for having YouTube video capability for how to cook or prepare certain things. (Since I'm so often in need of expertise in that department.) I would never get rid of my cookbooks though. What happens when you lose your internet signal? Yes, that happens to us here.
ReplyDeleteYes, me too (re: the youtube video capabilities in the kitchen). There have been times when I have been in the middle of cooking and have had to run back and forth to the computer to check something, run back and cook, check, cook, check, cook, burn, BLARG. Not fun.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I hate having screens surrounding me everywhere...in every room...watching me...
I hear ya. It's funny how paranoid I feel sitting in front of a webcam, even though I know (I think???) it's turned off. The feeling is so pervasive, I was looking at a newspaper photo the other day and for a split second, had the feeling that the ladies in it could see me. At those moments you KNOW it's time to put away the laptop and go outside and dig some weeds or something.
ReplyDeleteHa ha - yes! I have a good and healthy paranoia when I'm at the computer too...on our computer when the webcam is on, there's only this tiny little light to inform you of it's activity, and sometimes I have to shut it down too turn the webcam off. At some point, you might find me crouched in a dark corner of the house, eyes darting around, muttering 'they're watching' over and over.
