Sometimes I hate media.. Exibit A.

Tonight my mom, sister, and I all went out to eat because my dad and brothers went to Idaho for the weekend. We went out to Chili's, which is one of my favorites!!! However, one of the first things I noticed when I walked in were these little "ziosks" on each table. They were almost like little ipads advertising the different foods they serve there. My initial reaction was "thats kinda cool," at least until our waitress came and explained it to us. She said..."Here is our brand new little ziosks. You can play unlimited games, search our menu, and even pay for your meal all on this little machine, all for just 99 cents." That's when I got really annoyed. They already have a million TV's in their resturant, and lots of people were just sitting around on their phones anyway. It bugs me that they are encouraging people to play games now too!! When you go out to eat, its usually to get away, and enjoy the people around you. The atmosphere. The food. The memories. Not your stupid phone, or what's going on on the TV in front of you!! Now they want you to play on the ziosk. Whatever happened to HUMAN INTERACTION?????

My news feed.

This week I almost had a panick attack! When I log into Firefox, it automatically takes me to a news feed of different articles that have been published in the news that day. Well when I logged in earlier this week, the top story was about the earthquake in Chile. My best friend is serving her mission there and is serving in that area. I was so worried about her. But luckily all the missionaries in Chile are all safe. I'm really grateful that there is media out there that can let us know about different parts of the world at the click of a mouse.
