Miss Communication

Page 763 of Proper Blogging Content reads, "Although posting numerous times in one day is generally accepted, it is usually reserved for mothers with young children and old people with nothing better to do than talk about themselves, and is therefore prone to make you appear as one of those." (It's kind of a wierd book)

So with that in mind I'm posting for the second time today! It's been all of 2 hours since my first post, but i'd like to rant. and seein' as how this is my free blog it'll do.

How is it that in this the information age we seem to have more miscommunications? Information travels faster today than it did 50 years ago, for example instead of the horse drawn buggy and the wells fargo wagon we have the text message and the Email. The telephone itself is in danger of being grandfathered by the videochat. Yet at the same time i would like to point out that about 75% of the information is either being interpreted wrong or is simply wrong to begin with. Mathmatically, if 100% of the data is going 500% faster, yet only 25% of the information is actually correct, and then only 25% of that actually makes sense, and only 25% of that is actually useful, and then we take out taxes... (drop the three, carry the one...) I think we're actually understanding less than before!

That's why parents are so blasted wise. Those who are nearer to the Pony express days have an advantage, in that their information makes sense!

And if you happen to be one of those delightful fifty year olds, or you are offended by it, you can just count this post right out as a miscommunication.

  1. It sounds to me that your book on blogging is very accurate. At least page 763. Sometimes I can't tell if it's that I don't have anything better to do or if I don't want to do anything better. I guess it doesn't matter.
