ASIAN AMERICAN ISSUES
Technologies Changing Our Lives
icrowave ovens save us from the spectre of fiery deaths from forgotten soups and tea kettles. Cellphones let us big brother shady mates. The internet saves our backs from weekly recycling bin schleps. Aspartame lets us gorge ourselves silly on sweet nothings. Wireless LANs save us from having to enter the jungles growing in the dark recesses behind our desks. CD-burners liberate us from all those awful songs on sketchy albums.
And who isn't eagerly awaiting self-driving cars that never need refueling? Or gene therapies to reverse the effects of ageing? Or hypersonic airliners to cut those interminable transpacific crossings to an hour or two?
Is it just us or is technological progress the only reliable force for improving human life?
So what technologies are changing your lives? And what technologies are you staying away from?

MLK,
"In fact, it's really wierd that anytime we start rambling off subject, all the people leave and then, there's just the two of us."
It's probably you. I have good hygene. heheh.
Anybody out there uses those new electric toothbrushes and floss sets. Any opinions.

MLK,
Hmmm...good answer.
You know the technology I'm looking for. Well it already exist in asia. It's those neck straps with the earphones and microphones in them. This way you can hang your cell phone off your neck while walking and talking.
But mostly female kids use them in Asia to look cute. I need a designer to make them look mature and professional enough to use in the USA.

And this is what I get when I ask you to stick to the subject at hand...your query on how I react with a man inside me. (sigh). You're lucky we're both not tossed out of the board for going off the subject and taking up all the space that folks would be using to talk about stuff like tech toys. In fact, it's really wierd that anytime we start rambling off subject, all the people leave and then, there's just the two of us. Maybe they're trying to tell us something...like "hey, you folks are boring us! we don't wanna stick around here!"
OK, I'll answer your question, but then we really have to start talking on-subject again. I don't want to be kicked out of here by our friendly neighborhood Editors.
How long can I remain motionless...as long as it takes to drive a man crazy.

MLK,
Maybe at the end of the sex, there might be an intiate full-body embrace. That is if one party doesn't fall asleep first.
When bodies move in unison it is called dance.
How long can you remain motionless when you feel a man inside you?
Yearning, Soaring....How Long?
Maybe that's the money maker. Invent a robot that will hug people after sex.

Please stick with the subject at hand...technology. If you're going to collect on your royalties, at least have a robot do it for your employees. Naked folks won't feel so embarrased by a robot standing around with its palms outstretched like some street beggar, waiting for the dollar that resulted from the AC Dropout move 1A.
And I disagree with you. Sex is NOT like dancing...it's more like...a very advanced, very emotional, very intimate full-body embrace.

MLK,
It's kinda of hard to collect money from people when they are naked. I'm sure there would be some people who would object to my employees showing up in their bedrooms going, "If your are planning to use AC Dropout move 1A, please deposit $1."
Sex is like dancing. You have clubbing and your have ballroom dancing. Individual preference to how one wishes to sweat.
