Seemed the fighting between the 4 of them was like a never ending story. But, when troubles knocked at the door, they'd stop fighting, and run to one anothers' aide. We don't find that kind of friendship these days. As a society, we have become introverted and isolated. Perhaps technology has contributed to some of these behaviors. And, I have to admit, we are living in one of the greatest times of our lives. Whether you agree or disagree technology is opening a railway of new inventions. For example:</span></p>

I scurried around putting away clothing, straightening up the area because I didn't want the doctor to see any clutter. It was quite intimidating to have the physician or anyone matter of fact to invade your private space by virtual systems. Well, I settled in quickly and actually experienced an individualized session with him. There was enough time blocked to talk about issues that mattered to me. In fact, when the doctor and I finished the virtual visit, I left feeling that my questions were answered, and I didn't feel rushed. How are you handling virtual visits with your physicians? </span></p>

Different but doable. I recommend menu planning whenever possible and a shopping list before shopping on line. </span></p>

Be sure to inquire if there are delivery fees. If you are using grocery delivery services, how has it worked for you? </span></p>

I recently saw a well known pizza commercial, using a driverless car. My eyes lit up, it was amazing. Of course my amazement turned into who is navigating that car? After settling down my thoughts, I said, is it possible it operates by remote control. Well, you can see, I really didn't know but it intrigued me. </span></p>

I wondered if the car was programmed to remain in park for a time. I laughed because it was so funny to imagine all the things that could happen, as opposed to the fact that the pizza arrived without incident and the order was correct. </span></p>

Cable companies have developed packages that include streaming. Its almost like al carte. Basic stations are offered then there are streaming packages you can add. Not the same as turning the television on and watching your favorite show anymore. Its fancy and some are high tech. With all the changes in the world, anxiety and frustration may set in. So what are strategies to help you navigate through the mice maze of technology;</span></p>
