Technology and Texting Making us Dumb

I am sitting here at 6:05 in the morning thinking, that as I get older, people get dumber. What ever happened to having a little common sense? Has technology made us so advanced that we are now falling behind in the smarts department? I have so many examples that has prompted me to write these few words that I will only address one and the real reason I thought to post, it's like the straw that broke the camels back. When I am on a website or forum reading someones post and he or she writes something that is solely abbreviations I think, "What are you trying to say". I know some people aren't college graduates and some people didn't do well in school but come on, it's hard enough trying to decipher some of the crap they say and then to try to make sense of if all is just too painful at times. What is sumfin? I blame all of this on primarily being lazy then on the advancements of the world. They are a double edge sword. Eventually people will not be able to spell a word because they have created an entirely new word to represent the true word. I just wanted to voice me concern for our future. I don't need some texter taking care of me when I get to be 80 or 90 and the person has a hard time reading actual worlds. We have to take a stand and get our future back on track......Education is the key. Read a book, write a letter, and please stop to smell the roses....!

I want to say something but what? I just feel like writing. It's snowing outside and I am stuck inside. I want to be somewhere else but I am stuck here. It's funny how things work out when you are suppose to be one place but you are in another. Life has a way of changing your feelings and thoughts about people. I often wondered why people do things in their life but now I wonder why people don't do things with their life. The only way to be where you want to be is to do something that will get you there. Of course, if you don't plan on being anything, than why bother.
