I'm really wondering how much "personal health" means to some people. There is a part of me that wants to say oh screw it when it comes to personal health. But from my past experiences, I think that's one of the most important caveats that most humans overlook. Well maybe humans in the United States. I think technology is really starting to push the limit of how humans live in general. For example, for some reason when installing their satellite TV my new neighbors seemed to have severed the coaxial cable which brings internet and mtv into my apartment. So now there's a possibility that my apartment will be internet-less for the greater part of the week. And I definitely feel at a loss, but I realize this particular loss is okay. I don't want to be tethered to technology. But it's interesting how much of it eventually consumes our lives. Internet for the most part is like electricity, and I see it going that way. More and more devices are relying on an internet connection, like voice over IP phones which some cable companies are trying to market. Imagine something like my situation occurs and you have a voice over IP phone! You'd be without a phone, but now with everyone having a cell phone I guess there would be some kind of redundancy. Back to humans in the United States, and health. The relation to the internet blurb and health was that, like with the TV most people get into this routine of doing something when they get home from work. I've been trying to change it up so that my routine is going home changing and hitting the gym, and without much failure, it's been working. So when I was in the terminal at LAX, I walked by McDonald's and saw that they are now selling these pedometers. I thought that was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. So they are almost saying hey come and eat this Big Mac that has all of this fat and bad stuff for you, but be sure to attempt and burn it off by tracking the amount of moving around you do throughout the day. I bet that the average combo at McDonald's, one cannot even burn off by just walking around.
