Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Scroll

The word of the day is scroll. A scroll can refer to a roll of paper, parchment, or other material, especially one with writing on it. We don’t see many scrolls these days.

However, it’s most referred to the action of advancing content up or down on a screen. It seems like we all do a lot of scrolling on our devices screens. Sometimes it’s to find something important. Other times it’s just to pass the time. That is when we seem to have a problem.

Keeping up with what is going on can be an obsession. Here we are just scrolling our lives away because we have a fear of missing out. To that, I say don’t let your scrolling get in the way of living a good life.

No Phone Friday

Hello friends, I hope your day was great. The weekend is here.

I grew up in a time before cell phones. I survived. Fast forward to the times we live in today and I am kinda lost without my phone. Disconnecting every once and a while is not a bad thing and to survive 8 hours without my Google Pixel 5a is not a death sentence. Sure it’s inconvenient but I made it. I was productive at work. You have to adapt but isn’t that what humans do. Some people have downgraded to a pre-smartphone device such as a flip phone or the immortal Nokia.

My Mrs. is having to wait for a replacement for her phone that is not working now. It won’t arrive for a couple of days.

So at the end of the day, I have it back. Perhaps I need more time away from it.

Ring Ring, Hello

Phones used to not have caller ID or anything fancy. You just answered it when it rang. These days people screen their calls or just don’t bother with it all. Landlines have been fading away for years in favor of mobile phones or calling over the Internet. It’s old school when you use your phone as a speech-based communication device.
