What have you done?
The movie is set in a small town in Tennessee. This is the epitome of Small Town U.S.A. There's only a feww scenes with cell phones and that is the extent of technology. They spent their time with their family or actually doing things.
It seems that we have all these distractions and we're still never satisfied. There was a time before video games, internet, etc. and I wonder how often people complained of boredom. As I am constantly reminded at work, "there is always something to do." Isn't that true in every aspect of life? When I was younger, my father made me study in the bathroom. He thought nothing in there could possibly distract me. I still found the doorknob more entertaining than my notes. There was always something else to do. Are we spoiled by technology? Or are we ruined by it?
Basically, I jsut want away from technology. I want to live in a place where you don't have to constantly check Facebook or tweet about eating a sandwich. Or, if this place doesn't exist I would like to spend a few months in a cabin on a mountain. Electricity isn't even required. I'd like to grow my own food and spend my time reading, writing, drawing, exploring, learning, building, or whatever strikes my fancy at the time.
To not have to worry about watching the Hills every week, constantly checking Facebook for status comments, or Tweeting about that damn sandwich would be so nice. Then again, I would be so lost whenever I did rejoin the world. For now it's just a nice day dream.
Time to go tweet about posting this blog now!
((P.S. I do not, in fact, watch The Hills or any other MTV programming.))
