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.

Al-Anon and twelve step programs are a lifeline

The self-help arena is massive and usually new age in nature, yet the path to truth starts with a desire for the truth about ourselves. What makes us who we are? Growing up, I was introduced to Jesus and the Holy Bible, it was a part of my life in some measure, and I’m very grateful for this. I’m not sure how much of my personality and values come from those early introductions to the Christian faith, yet I believe it helped me grow a conscience. Besides a testimony about myself, I want to write about how group counseling can help a person grow, and how the literature of Al-Anon, AA, and other twelve step programs can help us gain insight into why we feel the way we do, why we behave or think the way we do. I don’t think we understand how much alcoholism and drugs affect our lives, how deeply it shapes our perception about ourselves and others. Much of how we interact and deal with others is based on what was lacking in our families and growing up. Many times, we are stunted and unable...

Writing organization and the long road home

Writing about writing is like a maze within the Squidoo. Once upon a time... Way back in the winter of 2013, I started the journey of writing online; this seems like yesterday, yet that was 13 years ago nearly. Interestingly, I started out as a citizen journalist on an up and coming revenue sharing platform called All Voices. That included me of course, yet there wasn’t much revenue sharing coming my way. Maybe, I earned around .50 cents, never reaching the payment threshold. I soon realized after many afternoons of mowing lawns for my small lawn care business, that my hopes and dreams probably wouldn’t be realized through this particular platform. I didn’t stop there though. Proceeding on, in an online world without the Z Generation magnification that came later around 2020, I found Squidoo and HubPages. I proceeded to write heartfelt pieces that helped me realize my writing acumen was lacking something fierce (even worse than now). Still, I carried on. The next stage of development I...

What is the oldest city in Oregon?

When learning about the history and culture of Oregon, there’s one area that continues to come up in the conversation. Located in northwestern Clatsop County, the oldest city in Oregon has likely been featured in more famous movies than any other city in the state. This small city is also not far from the oldest golf course in Oregon and west of the Mississippi; interestingly, this city is also the oldest settlement west of the Rocky Mountains too. Have you guessed it yet? The oldest city in Oregon is none other than Astoria , located near the mouth of the Columbia River with close ties to the historical Lewis & Clark Trail, it was first settled by fur trappers in 1811. Although incorporated later in 1856, it was first settled by John Jacob Astor and his American Fur Company which built Fort Astoria. This important fort and the deepwater Port of Astoria were integral to making this area a hub for settlers for many decades to come. Astoria is also only 15 miles from Gearhart Golf Li...

Is Writing on Medium and Vocal Worth It?

Honestly, the writing site, Medium, is my favorite from the user friendly and quality aspects with reading and writing. I like the concept, the pay structure, how it works in theory. Why then, am I not writing there anymore? Deleting my Medium writing account wasn’t an easy decision, and I’ve had some times of regret in losing what I considered the best compilation of my articles online, yet, overall, it was a good move for me. When it comes down to what matters, where we write makes a difference in our identity as a writer and person. Medium continued to show me that it had much different values than I did as a conservative Protestant Christian. That is the main reason I’m glad I’m not there anymore. Yes, it is a shame that I had to delete hundreds of articles, all chronologically published, representing my work in a professional and quality way on their excellent writing and publishing site. And, the yearly membership fee really wasn’t very much, around $60, and I probably made aroun...
