Stone Age Online

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have made a short list of what kinds of documents you need if you want to use a passenger car:

1) driving license
2) road traffic validation
3) environmental certification
4) certification of originality
5) car insurances
6) car tax receipt
7) road toll receipt
8) service book

Here you have a short list of what you need if you want to use a computer:

1) internet account
2) virus protection and firewall
3) a couple of good browsers
4) a couple of email accounts
5) accounts of social media
6) a collection of favourites
7) management of mobile devices
8) messenger services

I definetily don't want to recall the stone age but I have the feeling that you need to choose between owning a car or a computer... Both objects require so many certifications or accounts that you simply don't have any more time and energy for anything else than keeping up the ownerships - if you want to have both a car and a computer...

No time and energy for a social life,
no time and energy for sports,
no time and energy for work,
no time and energy for hobbies etc.

What you may have instead is stress, physical decay, depression, boredom etc.

For example in a household where 2 adults live together you can have one car and one computer without becoming a slave of technology... However if you want to own both machines on your own then the rest of your life might shrink to misery... I have "chosen" to own a computer and to use public transportation...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
