Time and Technology Are Overwhelming Us




As the world turns, so do the days of our lives…

The line from the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” which was on in the 80s and 90s. My grandma used to watch those shows along with “Highway to Heaven.” I remember watching some of them with her, which seems like a lifetime ago.

Time and technology are interesting topics in my mind. Time for how it is hard to describe, difficult to analyze in its impact and scope. Technology for how it is taking over our lives and conditioning us in immeasurable ways.

In general, time and technology are moving faster than my ability to understand them in any coherent way; in any way that helps me make sense of their impact in my life or society in general.

While time has been a constant factor in measuring the change that occurs for our ever-dying and decaying human bodies, technology has come about with a vicious agenda, a hyper-intensified importance and progression.

Technology has rapidly changed our perception of time; in my opinion, it has sped up our lives by giving us constant stimulation. We are over-stimulated, always having entertainment, always having communication, always having recreation through technology. There are no dull spots in our lives, except for the dullness of our non-thinking brains that have given up on understanding and given in to pleasure and easy living.

Mush brains, no longer able to think critically, hooked into the hive mind (the technological brain that directs us through supernatural genius and centralized power). Automotons we’ve become, or are becoming, with every technological advance.

God is in control, He foresaw this coming and knows what will happen.

Supernatural evil genius can do its best, but ultimately, it will fail. As for most people, they are on the broad way to destruction. They are sure of themselves and what they know; they shouldn’t be, but the hive mind directs them both on the left and the right.

Most are fighting for their home (this world) and their temporary lives in it; this is their home, this is their everything; what else is there? They don’t believe there is another realm that is their true home; they don’t believe in anything except for themselves, and who and what is that?

The hive mind is getting stronger as technology integrates more and more into our lives, society, business, and every aspect of the world we are part of.

Technology is the solution for the problems it creates, until it becomes the problem no one can escape.

That point is coming; our higher intelligence as humans tells us this is true. When technology becomes our master, our controller, and rules over us without mercy or human kindness.

God is still with us, but are we with God? Is this our world we have to fight for and have strong opinions about, or is our home with God, and we are strangers and pilgrims in this temporary place?

Technology and time are interesting topics, ones that aren’t easy to cover anymore. It seems that because of technology, we’ve become short of time; it seems time is running out as technology progresses. Is this true?

If technology weren’t advancing, would time seem to be running out? Or, would we have the perspective that we had plenty of time for ourselves and the generations to come?

Technology is not only changing our perspective on how much time is left for humanity, but it is also changing how humans act and behave — further leading us to conclude our time is short, as this type of destructive behavior can only shorten our time before the end of the world as we know it.

Time with technology involved has become overwhelming, which is why most people just drink and do drugs. They just want to escape the overwhelming aspects it brings and enjoy the pleasure it brings instead.

Besides, what can we do about it? It is like a train coming that we can’t stop. All we can do is maybe get off the tracks or prepare for the inevitable collision. Still, this messes with our brains, our emotions. How can we stay optimistic about the future with all of this noise and future calamity?

Well, God is still with us. Not in the way the world wants us to think, not in the way people who think this is their home want us to think, but in the quiet place outside of the hive mind collective.

That’s what matters in this time and technology mess. Yet, you can’t love the world and God at the same time. You can’t believe in lies and the truth at the same time. And if it is what the majority believes, you can know it isn’t the truth, cause narrow is the way and few there are who find it.

That doesn’t mean it is hard to find it, yet it does mean you have to stop thinking this world is where you will find heaven. Deception wouldn’t be deceiving, unless it resembled the truth, such as false religion is deceiving; for instance, like Catholicism looks like Christianity, etc.

While time and technology change our lives, the main battle stays the same, yet with different characters and different tactics. Do we know the enemy, can we discern through true history and the present truth, what and who the enemy is? Cause that enemy is going to pretend to be our friend, it is going to morph into a deception that is palatable to our senses, which the hive mind manipulates so well.

If we love the truth, though, we will prevail and see through the deception; we will find the way home in the end. Praise Jesus for this.

10 Famous Movies Filmed in Oregon Part 2

It shouldn’t be too surprising that Oregon with its amazing scenery and diverse natural landscape has been used to make movies for the big screen. Still, with such a relatively small population it is somewhat amazing how many movies have been filmed here over the years. After naming 10 movies in part one , it became apparent there needed to be a part two, as these are just as famous, so here goes from oldest to newest. 1. Paint Your Wagon (1969): Having Clint Eastwood star in a musical isn’t likely, but he did star in this American Western musical in the late 60s and even did his own singing. The film also stars Lee Marvin and Jean Seberg and was directed by Joshua Logan. Most of the movie production happened near Baker City, Oregon, a small city in Eastern Oregon with around 10k residents and at 3451 ft. elevation. The plot centers around a mining camp in the California Golf Rush era in the mid-1800s. 2. Five Easy Pieces (1970): Starring Jack Nicholson, this early 70s drama was filme...

The Following Leaders on Medium

I remember one distinct moment during a career development course at a community college I attended 21 years ago when the professor asked us to stand up and do an exercise.  She asked the class to separate themselves into two groups; those who thought of themselves as leaders on one side of the classroom and those who thought of themselves as followers on the other.  This question came without warning at the beginning of the class, so we didn’t have time to think it through. The result was probably more sincere because of this suddenness.  For some context, the class consisted of about 30 students, mostly young adults under 21 YOA; I was about 21 years old. An interesting thing happened.  An Important Life Lesson in Social Perception The vast majority of the class went to the leader side of the class and only two of us went to the follower side. I was one of the followers along with another young man. How awkward; then the professor focused on us followers and ask...
