On Telephones and Procrastination

A telephone; this amazing invention that lets you talk to a person even if they’re not directly in front of you. A telephone; this piece of technology that paralyzes you when you use it to talk to someone who isn’t directly in front of you.

There are two sides to everything. The good and the not so good. The phone is great. You can be in touch with your best friend from across the world. You can keep on top of things happening eight states away in real time. The phone is not so great. It puts a cloak of anonymity on every call. It is uncomfortable to talk to someone across the country that you don’t know.

In other words these few paragraphs are a form of procrastination and distraction. Although, this is not causing the phone calls to dial themselves.
