I haven't written on this blog in a while not because I lost interest but because I was a little bit unsettled that no one is even reading this blog. How hard does it seem to have your blog noticed? Then I started thinking about how everything seems to have a certain protocol or path to it. If you go into McDonald's and order one cheeseburger, the young kid behind the cash register will look at you alarmingly and say - what about fries and a drink with that?
Everything in America seems to have something attached to it. I was reading an interesting article about Turbo Tax yesterday and how it was compared to an H&R Block tax professional to see which method would produce the higher tax return for the user. Turns out that whether you use Turbo Tax or an H&R Block (real person) your return didn't vary too much, less than a $10 difference.
Isn't that crazy? If there's one way technology has changed us it's that everything has been compartmentalized - there's no peaks and valleys anymore (or if there are - they are very hard to find). America has become flat in a cultural way through technology. What do you think?
