Entry: Take My Computer, Please Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/take_my_computer_please#1618 Post contents: With a few free hours this morning I grabbed my coffee and sat down in front of the computer fully expecting some meaningful interaction. Up popped the Google search page when, as my hands eagerly assumed the position on the keyboard, I realized that my mind was a blank. I stared at the cursor blinking in the search box. What am I interested in this morning? With a world of information at my fingertips, upon what learning adventure shall I embark today? With each blink of the waiting cursor my cognitive void became more apparent. I stared harder, hoping to kick start my curiosity, expecting to will something to mind. But nothing came. Blank. Blink. Blank. Blink. Soon it dawned on me that I was experiencing that same helpless feeling I used to get when my wife would innocently ask, "What are you thinking, honey?" I used to think it was her question that was the problem. I used to think it was her interest in me, her desire to be a part of my every moment, that caused my brain to go numb. I used to think that if she would just leave me alone I would have the time to think the great thoughts that I knew were trying to get out. Now I know different. Now I realize that my dullness was not the result of being annoyed. I was dull because I am dull. All along, it's been my problem. Thank you Google! By being there for me you've taught me a great lesson. I can be a better person. A better husband. Now, Google, one more thing: will you help me search for my darling wife? Sent at: 2008 12 02
