So I’m on my way to class today to give an exam, and I’m reviewing in my head the instructions I have to give about people putting away their iPods and turning off their cell phones. And I think to myself, “I certainly don’t have to tell them to turn off their pagers. Wow, technology sure has changed since I graduated from college a decade ago.”
So, of course, I go to say “Turn off your cell phones” and out comes “turn off your pagers,” and everyone gets to laugh at the out-of-touch guy. Sheesh.
Just goes to show you how funny the human brain is. In a space of ten minutes the same mind that said there was no need to say something, said that exact thing. Sometimes I think my neurons need to do a better job of talking to one another.
