Downy Inflatable Queen Size Bed

As much as we claim to be at the pinnacle of human connection, it seems that we couldn't be further apart. Technology has allowed us to be as self-sufficient as possible. The comforts of living no longer involve the participation of another soul. I am proof-positive of this fact.



I actually put this theory to the test this last weekend. I was convinced that my weekend could be void of any other human interaction and still leave me content. The results were astounding. I managed to be able to stay in the comforts of my home, and not find a dull moment for forty-eight hours. I actually was quite surprised at the results. How could a person be void of contact for such a long period and not feel a tinge of anxiety? I attribute this state of being to a few things.



First, the advent of HD television programming has reinvigorated the TV watching experience. No longer lost in seas of grain and fuzz, the pictures available now are remarkable. Don't believe me? Just for snot and giggles, switch over to a regular broadcast of a football game after you have been watching in HD. You will see the truth. The powers that be have actually found a way for Americans to watch more TV.



Second, the internet and the gaming culture have forever changed the rules. If you play "World of Warcraft" you know exactly what I mean. If you don't, just imagine a game that never ends. Now imagine a place where there are millions of other "real" people that are playing along with you. It's an utterly brilliant concept. Somehow technology has convinced me to keep on playing a game that never ends with the added catch of charging me monthly for the privilege. It has been five years now, and I'm still not sick of it.



Lastly, I attribute my single relationship status as a key component to my theory. I don't have any silly commitments to honor. I don't have friends that used to fill my days with joy calling me for human interaction. Did I give up on them, or did they give up on me?



Maybe it isn't so much being content, but perhaps it's more of a surrender to apathy. It's a comfortable blanket that makes injustice easier to tolerate. All the lights, bells, and whistles that make you feel in control do anything but. I am at the mercy of technology blindness. As much as the ostrich enjoys shutting out the world in a hole custom made for its head, I enjoy the same facade. Except, my hole is air conditioned.



So why not invite someone to crash on your floor like the old days.
