Do we really need to be spoken to by our phones, our cars, and our computers? I did an upgrade on my computer and it asked me if I wanted Siri. I said no, it came back and said why&#8230;I said because I don&#8217;t want my computer to talk to me. I have enough things talking to me. People in stores, people I don&#8217;t know or want to know feel like they must tell me their whole life story. I somehow bring this out in people. I must look like I care what they have to say.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, those of you who know me or follow me know I do care. I care deeply about people, my friends, family and neighbors, etc. I&#8217;m a caring person. I really am. And I want to know everything about them and what is going on in their life. They can call me any time day or night and I will be there for them. \u00a0But if I am sitting in the car repair place reading my book, then NO.. &#8220;Mr Bald Guy with the big glasses&#8221;(I also have a thing where I give these people names)I don&#8217;t want to know what you are having for dinner later or guess where you\u00a0were earlier in the day or\u00a0where you are going on vacation next week. No&#8230;I don&#8217;t need to know that. I am reading a book. One time I was on a plane and the guy next to me constantly tried talking to me even though I was making believe I was asleep to try and stop his constant chatter. It didn&#8217;t work or stop him from going on and on endlessly about the problems he was having in his marriage. What idiot talks to people when they are clearly trying to sleep?<\/p>\n<p>I also hate when I am in the grocery store and people I don&#8217;t know want to stop and talk about how they make spaghetti. I am here for a reason, I don&#8217;t like grocery shopping, I want to get in, get my stuff and get out. As stated, I don&#8217;t like people and I don&#8217;t want to talk to you about making spaghetti. Ok, I know all of this sounds somewhat harsh and maybe mean spirited. It isn&#8217;t really just people, it is all these gadgets we have vying for our attention and screaming at us everyday that is really the cause of my ire.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Talk low, talk slow and\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><b><i>don&#8217;t say too much.&#8221; ~ John Wayne<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>I&#8221;m a somewhat normal person. I like parties and having fun and sometimes I throw caution to the wind and dance and sing out loud. But the majority of the times these days, I like my peace and quiet. Been there done that, if you know what I mean. \u00a0But every direction\u00a0I turn lately I have someone or some &#8220;thing&#8221; trying to talk to me. The ATM asks, do you want that cash a certain way? Its $20&#8230;just give me $20. My daughters car talks to her constantly. I can&#8217;t stand that and its not even my car. I am glad mine doesn&#8217;t do that. If it did I may have to take out its speaking thingy. If I don&#8217;t want to get my oil changed right now when my car says its time I won&#8217;t. And it can beep at me all it wants to but it can&#8217;t make me. The watches that talk and tell you stuff annoy me. Who needs that? All you need is a watch that tells time. Thats it&#8230; that is why God created watches.<\/p>\n<p>And then they created the talking tube. The round thing that sits in the middle of your living room you talk to and it answers every question known to man&#8230;or woman. It reads books and plays songs and tells you the news of the day. Ask it anything and it has an answer. The Echo&#8230;Who needs this and why? I don&#8217;t like real people talking to me and now we have this. There is Google Now, Windows Cortana, and of course our dear sweet Siri..all of them trying to one up each other and answer the questions the world needs to know and then some. Maybe we should put them all in a room together and let them talk to each other until they run out of answers.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have Siri on my new iPhone, I mean she is there lurking just waiting for me to push her button and &#8220;need&#8221; her. Last week one night my grandson was showing me how to use my phone and he told me to push the on button twice, I did that and Siri came on happy as a clam that I had asked her something. Of course I didn&#8217;t ask her anything I was talking to my grandson. So I said &#8220;oh no there&#8217;s Siri. I hate her.&#8221; \u00a0To which Siri replies, &#8220;Well, I&#8217;m still here for you.&#8221; She made me cry. Maybe I&#8217;ll talk to her one of these days.<\/p>\n<p>Do you like &#8220;things&#8221; talking to you? Do you use any of the things I mentioned? Please tell me one good reason to use them in the comments below.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Sometimes it feels better not to talk. At all.
