Late Night or Epiphanies

You know how it is.  You wake up after about two hours of sleep
and you just can't sleep.  And I have a new TV--one of those kind
impossible to figure out--a smart one--that most people that aren't
tech oriented spend hours trying to figure out.  So watching TV was
of the question. 

So I got out of bed and started washing dishes.  Would be done had I
not used the dishwasher.  These are modern conveniences.  The dishwasher
holds X amount of dishes, so I complete them by hand.  So much for
time-saving.

Have you ever thought about the time saving gadgets we now have
that takes  more time to operate than the plain ordinary variety--yet
they are supposed to be "smart"--so you can tweet, email, and text--
even while driving--and there you go weaving along--what road?
Oops--missed that red light!  Crash! And my daughter was was the
lucky recipient of a totaled car!

I went 5 years without a telephone and 15 years without a TV.  I
got a smart TV for Christmas--my daughter will have to teach me how to use
it.  My  goal and incentive for this TV is to rid myself of direct
TV and their high rates.  I only watch TV in the evenings--usually my
knees and legs hurt so badly that is the length of activity for thepart of the day.

All for now--
