Remember when – @Anonymous

A computer was something on TV
From a science fiction show of note.
A window was something you hated to clean,
And ram was the cousin of a goat

Meg was the name of my girlfriend.
A gig was a job for the night.
Now they all mean different things,
And that really mega bytes.

An application was for employment.
A program was a TV show.
A cursor used profanity.
A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was something that you lost with age.
A CD was a bank account.
And if you had a three-inch floppy,
You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage,
Not something you did to a file.
And if you unzipped anything in public,
You’d be in jail for a while.

Log on was adding wood to the fire.
Hard drive was a long trip on the road.
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived.
And a backup happened to your commode.

Cut, you did with a pocket knife.
Paste, you did with glue.
A web was a spider’s home.
And a virus was the flu.

I guess I’ll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head.
I hear nobody’s been killed in a computer crash,
But when it happens they wish they were dead.

Why did the chicken cross the road

Well, this was one of those days where I had some free time and as usual, I planned on going to the library to return my load of books and get another load.

Parking was available somewhat far away next to one of the famous landmarks in Blore: Safina Plaza. Now lot of new things have been happening around the area such as sprouting of new buildings, one ways and change in parking arrangement.

Just like any other citizen, I usually take all this in stride, wonder for a few minutes and go back to my daily life or the usual routine. Maybe browse around the Plaza for something good and of course make it to the library.

I had to cross the road for the usual reasons.  YES to get to the other side.. hahaha !! so that I could walk to the library.

I saw a traffic policeman lazily watching me park and get out of my car. He kept watching people beyond me.. but I was hoping that I had everything right, papers, parking and all that blah.

Since I read somewhere that there was to be NO JAYWALKING I meekly went to the zebra crossing. The moment I stepped into that area, there was the LOUD .. BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP.. BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..

MY heart just stopped and the first thing that came to my mind was GOOD LORD.. did I step into some DO NOT STEP zone.. Nowadays you dont know what rules apply where and when.. with the elections just out, you would be liable to see new stuff happening for which there would be no reason at all..

OK so then and there I knew how it was like to be a deer frozen by headlights.

I frantically looked around to the policeman imagining him to come at me with a “GOTCHA” look .But he was standing there as usual.. So No I have not violated any rule.. Was there a camera and automatic receipt coming out of somewhere… since he was so cool.. :O

I was remembering the meaning of JAYWALK. My mind was a BLANK. What was the meaning of JAYWALK.. SHIT.. Where do I go now..

And the siren went on and on BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..

AAAAAA…. somebody stop it……

Then suddenly, I saw all the cars stand still and seeming to wait for me. And just as luck would have it, I was the only one there…

EUREKA….. !!!!!!!

I got it… I HAD TO CROSS THE bludy ROAD.

I went red as beetroot and walked quickly across feeling like a fool..

As soon as I crossed the road some more people stopped at the same place and off it went again..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP..

To the startled surprise of the public.. hahahahah a:)

I was chuckling to myself.. ..as I went ahead with my errand..

PHEW… Why cant they put some button for us to press before we cross the road like they have in the US. Is the sound necessary.

And to beat that, once the cars got over their surprise as well, they did not bother to stop for the pedestrians… Well no surprise there… :)

So much for technology and common sense or lack of it… GAHHHH !!!
