Ten Things That Might Disappear In Our Lifetime

1. The Post Office
No way
Man that's un-american
I've got envelopes
I've got stamps
I send letters
I pay bills by Mail

2. The Cheque
No way again
I've got a checkbook
I write checks
I think some tea party banker started this roumor

3. The Newspaper
Ok - This one I kind of agree with
I get most of my news from yahoo twitter or buzzfeed

4. The Book
I loaded the kindle app on my tablet
Downloaded a book
Hated it
Went out and got the book

5. The Land Line Telephone
Yep - I agree with this one
My homephone is magicjack internet phone
only 19.95 a year
And I've got my kick ass ZTE Andriod phone
Yeah - land lines are history

6. Music
Nope - I don't agree with this one
Maybe the music industry will change or die
But you can't party without tunes

7. Television
Not a chance
Programing now is better than ever
TV's are better than ever
and people are dumber than ever
so it all just fits


8. The "Things" That You Own
Well this one is kind of goofy
it's refering to data
Things are moving away to the cloud
Which is fine
Just means I can get my shit from anywhere


9. Joined Handwriting

I guess some schools no longer teach kids how to write by hand
Gotta admit if I'm writing something
Im punching some keys
Unless it's my grocery list
that I do by hand

10. Privacy

Yeah not shit
I completely agree with this one
The Goverment listens to my phone
Hackers probably have all my info from my Target card
and facebook has been weirding me out lately
They keep surveying me on place I've been months ago
How do they know that I love Sabatinos

Ten Things That Will Disappear In Our Lifetime - Original Chain Email

Note: This is the original email content, some of which I agree with, some, not so much.

Ten Things That Will Disappear In Our Lifetime

This is USA oriented, but Canada & the rest will not be far behind..

Whether these changes are good or bad depends in part on how we adapt to them. But, ready or not, here they come.

1. The Post Office

Get ready to imagine a world without the post office. They are so deeply in financial trouble that there is probably

no way to sustain it long term. Email, Fed Ex, and UPS have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep

the post office alive. Most of your mail every day is junk mail and bills.

2. The Cheque

Britain is already laying the groundwork to do away with cheque by 2018. It costs the financial system billions of dollars a year to process cheques. Plastic cards and online transactions will lead to the eventual demise of the

cheque. This plays right into the death of the post office. If you never paid your bills by mail and never received them by mail, the post office would absolutely go out of business.

3. The Newspaper

The younger generation simply doesn't read the newspaper. They certainly don't subscribe to a daily delivered print edition. That may go the way of the milkman and the laundry man. As for reading the paper online, get ready to pay for it. The rise in mobile Internet devices and e-readers has

caused all the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an alliance. They have met with Apple, Amazon, and the major cell phone companies to develop a model for paid subscription services.

4. The Book

You say you will never give up the physical book that you hold in your hand and turn the literal pages. I said the same thing about downloading music from iTunes. I wanted my hard copy CD. But I quickly changed my mind when I discovered that I could get albums for half the price without ever leaving home to get the latest music. The same thing will happen with books. You can browse a bookstore online and even read a preview chapter before you buy. And the price is less than half that of a real book. And think of the convenience! Once you start flicking your fingers on the screen instead of the book, you find that you are lost in the story, can't wait to see what happens next, and you forget that you're holding a gadget instead of a book.

5. The Land Line Telephone

Unless you have a large family and make a lot of local calls, you don't need it anymore.  Most people keep it simply because they've always had it. But you are paying double charges for that extra service. All the cell phone companies will let you call customers using the same cell provider for no charge against your minutes

6. Music

This is one of the saddest parts of the change story. The music industry is dying a slow death.

Not just because of illegal downloading. It's the lack of innovative new music being given a chance to get to the people who would like to hear it. Greed and corruption is the problem.

The record labels and the radio conglomerates are simply self-destructing.

Over 40% of the music purchased today is "catalogue items," meaning traditional music that the public is familiar with. Older established artists. This is also true on the live concert circuit. To explore this fascinating and disturbing topic further, check out the book,"Appetite for Self-Destruction" by Steve Knopper, and the video documentary, "Before the Music Dies."

7. Television

Revenues to the networks are down dramatically. Not just because of the economy. People are watching TV and movies streamed from their computers. And they're playing games and doing lots of other things that take up the time that used to be spent watching TV. Prime time shows have degenerated down to lower than the lowest common denominator. Cable rates are skyrocketing and commercials run about every 4 minutes and 30 seconds.

I say good riddance to most of it. It's time for the cable companies to be put out of our misery. Let the people choose what they want to watch online and through Netflix.

8. The "Things" That You Own

Many of the very possessions that we used to own are still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future. They may simply reside in "the cloud." Today your computer has a hard drive and you store your pictures, music, movies, and documents. Your software is on a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if need be. But all of that is changing. Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all finishing up their latest "cloud services." That means that when you turn on a computer, the Internet will be built into the operating system. So, Windows, Google, and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the Internet.

If you click an icon, it will open something in the Internet cloud. If you save something, it will be saved to the cloud. And you may pay a monthly subscription fee to the cloud provider. In this virtual world, you can access

your music or your books, or your whatever from any laptop or handheld device. That's the good news. But, will you actually own any of this "stuff" or will it all be able to disappear at any moment in a big "Poof?"

Will most of the things in our lives be disposable and whimsical? It makes you want to run to the closet and pull out that photo album, grab a book from the shelf, or open up a CD case and pull out the insert.

9. Joined Handwriting

Already gone in some schools who no longer teach "joined handwriting" because nearly everything is done now on computers or keyboards of some type (pun not intended)

10. Privacy

If there ever was a concept that we can look back on nostalgically, it would be privacy. That's gone. It's been gone for a long time anyway.. There are cameras on the street, in most of the buildings, and even built

into your computer and cell phone. But you can be sure that 24/7, "They" know who you are and where you are,right down to the GPS coordinates, and the Google Street View. If you buy something, your habit is put into a

zillion profiles, and your ads will change to reflect those habits.. "They" will try to get you to buy something else. Again and again.

All we will have left that can't be changed are "Memories".

Rodman being Rodman - apologizes after CNN rant

Dennis Rodman is in the news again

He issued an apology after a recent rant on CNN
It seems The north koreans are holding american Kenneth Bae
Rodman is friends with north korean leader Kim Jon Un
During an interview
CNN's Chris Cuomo suggested Rodman might inquire about Kenneth Bae.
Evidently Rodman felt that it was none of his business, and he went off.
NBA commisioner David Stern tweeted 
in many instances sports can be helpful in bridging cultural divides
this instance is not one of them
Lighten up David Stern
I think it's just Rodman being Rodman

West Nile Virus

 

The US is in the middle of it's worst outbreak of West Nile ever.

So I got to wondering where is all of this West nile anyways? On the internet I found west nile maps and stats The url is diseasemaps.usgs.gov The Number one state with West Nile
by a long shot, is Texas. Texas has 733 cases. Mississippi is next with 98 cases. But Texas? West Nile is spread by mosquitos. I thought Texas was in drought. Maybe God is punishing those texas republicans. Either that or they've got a pond behind the shack. Or too many old tires out back. Illinois was fourteenth on the list with 21 cases. But I live in Chicago. The Chicago Police have a ban on mosquitos. Last night I walked over to the farmers market and not a single bite. In Chicago we don't worry about mosquitos. Getting shot yes. Mosquitos no.

Blue Moon

Today's featured music is Blue Moon by the Marcels. It's in honor of Friday night's Blue moon. And no the moon won't be blue. A Blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. They don't happen very often. Hence the term, "Once in a Blue Moon." This will be the first blue moon since march of 2010. If it's cloudy in your neighborhood you can see the Blue Moon on the internet. The Slooh Space Camera will broadcast the moon starting at 6pm. Sign into the feed at url: events.slooh.com The Slooh broadcast will honor Niel Armstrong. Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. Coincidentally Neil Armstrongs funeral is tomorrow. Rest in peace Neil Armstrong.

Chicago Gun Violence

On twitter this mornings I found these tribune headlines. 

Colorado shooting families blast fundraising charities. Cops wound gunman after fatal shooting in Gresham neighborhood. Yesterday Facebook friend Jerry posted. Afraid of Belfast on the 12th of July. "I'm from the South Side of Chicago -- I'll be safer in Belfast." So I got to thinking. How did we get here? In 1783 An american army comprised largely of militias chased the english back to england. In 1791 congress passed the Second amendment to the constitution. The second amendment guaranteed americans the right to bear arms in support of militias. In 1920 congress passed the eightheenth amendment starting prohibition. In 1933 To stem the lawlessness of prohibition the eighteenth amendment was repealed. In 1934 and 38 new federal firearms laws were enacted. In 2008 and 2010 new Supreme Court interpretations bolstered the second ammendment and dramatically diminished the authority of state and local governments to limit gun ownership. And here it 2012. Last weekend in Chicago 46 people were shot. Nine fatally. Congress has reacted to gangsterism in the past. History repeats itself.

Street Art Jumped The Shark

When street art started it was really cool.


Banksy was doing his thing in London. Space invader was plastering up his little tiles. Obey was posting little handbills on traffic poles. But then it started becoming comercial. Then the hats started coming out. And now street art has completely jumped the shark. Microsoft has a new add campaign for surface. It's their new tablet. Which looks pretty cool. I guess it makes sense. Advertisting is temporary. Exactly like street art.

Pink Slime

Your internet home for trending news and events. Oh, this is so sick. As if fast food wasn't bad enough  70 % of American ground beef contains pink slime What's pink slime. Pink slime is rendered fat. Pressure treated. Centrifuged. Then processed with gaseous ammonia. To kill the germs. It's a super cheap filler. They add the pink paste to ground beef to make it more colorful. It's added to 70 % of restaurant and supermarket ground beef. And guess what. The FDA signed off on this. Pink slime is considered beef, No special label no nothing. No more ground beef for me.
