I hate the Scroll
Several years ago I took note of an Issue that I thought was important. I put it into a folder on my computer entitled, My Email “Wisdom” and promptly forgot about it.
For those of you who object to my calling my own Mind Wandering “Wisdom”, find something else you object to about me because I put the word “Wisdom” in quotation marks which, of course, means I acknowledge that my Wisdom may not be grounded in Intellectually Defensible Thought…Or is it?
I’m going to move on now because these first two paragraphs have confused me.
------------------------
This “Wisdom” started wandering through my mind as I was watching our president (it does not make any difference which president) was making a very serious speech in London, England.
During the entirety of his important speech (on CNN) that Infernal Scroll was scrolling across the bottom of the screen.
Is the serious speech important or not? If it is important, why is other information constantly being passed before our eyes? It is really hard to stay fixated on what is being said while the scroll is doing its best to distract our attention.
I would agree that a scroll is serving a useful purpose if it is giving us other more important information like…
Ø An atomic bomb has just destroyed Toledo.
Ø Jennifer and Chuck have just called it quits.
Ø No one left alive after an earthquake destroys Denver.
I was trying to not look at the scroll but, at one point while I was being distracted, I thought to myself...
Is it really necessary to scroll before me “Happy Birthday Larry King and Ted Turner” while the President is trying to convey serious information about important stuff?
It is time for me to swear. I made up the information about Toledo, Jennifer and Chuck and Denver but I swear I actually saw “Happy Birthday Larry King and Ted Turner” pass before my disbelieving eyes.
Would I kid u?
