Luddites and Someday

I was talking with a co-worker on Sunday night about technology. He carries around a Blackberry and I was shocked when he showed me the tiny myspace screen that he was able to conjure up. Our Point of Sale system had been acting up all night and one of my other coworkers was texting instead of working. At that moment, I declared how much I was against technology. My male co-worker then called me a luddite, which I didn't really understand. So I went home and looked them up. I am not completely Luddite, but at times I feel that way. Here is the definition of Luddites:

crackberry is nothing compared the the all-mighty iPhone.

don't for get it.


you could ask him if he can find some character and self-control on his blackberry. maybe they have a myspace page?

I think you are too much in love with your I-phone. A golden calf, perhaps?

based on the content of your post, i would suggest it's your coworker with "the golden calf".


you know the iPhone rules. and i bet your coworker has iPhone envy, whether he admits it or not.


yay apple.

I don't mind technology as long as people have somekind of etiquette along with it.

If I had an iPhone I would love it and pet it and call it "Pooky". Guess that's why I don't have an iPhone. But if I did...

I am not a Luddite. I am also not addicted to technology. I can quit any time I want.

(Back in a sec...just gotta check my email real quick.)
