We don't talk much at home. We are not deaf mute. I love talking but who would like to talk in a house where people are reluctant to talk? I'm glad there is a blogger site where people like us have a soapbox. I'm not a motormouth nor do I have a motormouth. We have a TV or television where newscasters talk most of the time or movies to watch to keep us happy. Entertainment is important in this house. Unlike in our family home in Philippines where everyone talk and the house is noisy. My Mother talked about religious doctrines and it's always about God, the wrath and revelations. My Father talked about the past, his tour of duty in his prime time and his younger days about working hard, etc., etc. Then the loud music filled the air with songs of Elvis Presley, Viva Los Lobos, Cha-cha and other Latin songs. Then my Father will dance in his ridiculous dance technique. Our neighbors thought he was just being funny. Don't get me wrong. I love my parents and they are the most kind, respectable, and loving parents. I am truly blessed to have parents just like Nanay and Tatay. Later the air was filled with the noise about politics on our radio. When everything calmed down the TV is turned on and Combat the television series on the screen of our TV and after an hour of Rick Jason and Vic Morrow on their combat gears, another war series on the television screen, the Rat Patrol. Sometimes, I get the chance to switch the channel to Hardy Boys and Nancy drew Mysteries. OMG! We had only one television set that time and there's no remote control. You have to stand by right in front of the TV and use hands to change channels and use buttons from the TV. Get up from your chair lazy bums! When its windy and the antenna on the roof was swayed by the force of the wind the television screen will have an off signal turns and contrast and brightness of the screen were evident. Anyways, that was in the 70's. There's nothing like that of occurrence in our television connection and there's no need for antenna on the roof because the signal on our TV in our generation is through Optik and satellites above space through the stratosphere. Stratosphere, radio astronomy. In the 70's only few houses and few families had television sets in Philippines.
Modern technology, high tech gadgets: Flat screen wide TV as wide as 50" to 60" TV is great, computers, laptops, iPads, cellphones, digital cameras and other hi-tech electronics lead us not to talk anymore. Talking is like a curse nowadays and in this generation there are more curious people and autistic people.
People who needs people? Looking forward to the next episode of "The Walking Dead." Hours later, the most awaited TWD had that Jadis and her groupies were disarmed by Simon the terror, leaving only Jadis alive and alone on top of the dump. Rick and Michonne were flabbergasted when so many zombies surrounded them, anyway they had a strategy to escape while Jadis was left behind to do her last one moment of grounding the zombies. Yuck! Don't worry it's not for sausages. It's FICTION. Nothing is real! On another channel, Gal Gadot, Lupita Nyongo and Jimmy Kimmel ((@ the OSCAR's - Academy Award's Nite) brought movie viewers some snacks whatever those snacks are made of? Others would prefer burger.
