Podcastaway


Podcasts. What a trendy new way to view the world. I consider myself a pretty techy guy. I thought I would get into the new technology and explore them. So I clicked on the link. A whole world opened up to me. It was like entering a library without the ability to view the spines of the books. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled. I switched categories and scrolled and scrolled and scrolled. The only thing that broke up the landscape was the red box with the word explicit in it. My mind went blank and rather than feeling trendy I felt numb.

No wonder we are heading to destruction without a care in the world. We have too much to choose from. Our exposure to the world is getting larger and larger with no end in sight. I feel like a shipwrecked fool on a sea of information that threatens to swamp me at a moment's notice. We have more information at our fingertips than we know what to do with. Is there a plank from this shipwreck that I can swim to? Oh wait there are thousands. Choose or drown.
