When I bought my Blackberry, I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grand kids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.
That was before one of my grand kids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world..
My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.
The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it’s red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud.
I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, “Re-calc-u-lating.” You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship.When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven’t figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have to run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings…
The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden “Paper or Plastic?” every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me.
Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, “Paper or Plastic?” I just say, “Doesn’t matter to me. I am bi-sacksual.” Then it’s their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot.”
P.S. I know some of you are not over 50 … I sent it to you to allow you to forward it to those who are..Us senior citizens don’t need anymore gadgets. The tv remote and the garage door remote are about all we can handle.
In the World of Sales and Marketing there is a simple realisation to adhere to ” Supply and demand” – I am not referring to the economical “law of supply an demand”. I am referring to the fact that a company who “sells” or “supplies” a product/item or service will generally look at one thing as the major goal of the business…. create a DEMAND so you can SUPPLY and be successful… OOPs and than we have ESKOM
Yes due to no future planning on the government in power nows’ behalf; or if we shift the blame to the government beforehand. We still have the same problem at hand ….. a demand for supply where no supply is available.
Take an area like Cosmos city in Nootigedacht, Johannesburg for example. Eskom comes up with a fabulous way in which the public can control and budget for the amount they spend on electricity by using a prepaid meter. Simple. Go to Pick n Pay purchase the amount of electricity you can afford go home and enter the special key on your slip, into the meter and Voila… electricity controlled by you. Ah but the problem is when you punch in your special key and … nothing happens. Load shedding has been scheduled in the area for the last two months between 6 – 9p.m. every evening! So we have demand but no supply!
How than I ask does Eskom still have the monopoly in South Africa. I am no fundi on power stations or electrical supply – but surely there is some way to overcome this problem solar power, wind-turbine powered electrical stations???? There must be some company out there in this fast paced highly evolving world, that would be able to supply for this demand – or are they not allowed to because Eskom is government owned and our top echelons do not want to lose out on this income?
Now lets bring in that Economical “Law of supply and demand” – A theory explaining the interaction between the supply of a resource and the demand for that resource. The law of supply and demand defines the effect that the availability of a particular product and the desire (or demand) for that product has on price. Generally, if there is a low supply and a high demand, the price will be high. In contrast, the greater the supply and the lower the demand, the lower the price will be.
So there you have it why we pay such high electricity bills because of other individuals i.e our Government’s loss of foresight and planning!
This hilarious video takes Facebook and Twitter and acts out everything that you would do on those networks. Whether it’s a “Like” or a “Follow”, it’s all included here.
