I have done a few sweet potatoes in the microwave and really do like the quickness. You make an interesting point. I heard the problem being blamed on too much TV and video games. Reading takes more time and involvement that is lacking when the story is feed to you.<br /><br /><br />Is technology coming at us too fast? I still remember the book Future Shock I read (real paper book) about that problem back in the 70's.<br />thanks for the thoughtful comment.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-35647604680479881432013-03-02T21:36:11.713-06:002013-03-02T21:36:11.713-06:00I've already forgotten what my comment was goi...I've already forgotten what my comment was going to be.

CRAAZZZYYY! <br /><br /><br /><br />I blame the increasing speed of technology as being responsible for diminishing our attention span or maybe just my patience. When I first got married in 1971 it took an hour to bake a potato. I was used to that and it didn't seem to bother me. In the mid 1970's I bought one of the first microwaves and it took like 12 minutes to do a potato. Seemed fast. Over the years...and lots of microwave ovens later...I now can do a baked potato in around 2-3 minutes and it seems like it is taking forever...because I am used to the frozen kind only taking a minute.<br /><br /><br />Just think, if you had to use dial up Internet now. We are used to getting things to our brain instantly or we have moved on mentally, and are thinking about something else.Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-76538637647455629252013-03-02T18:50:25.283-06:002013-03-02T18:50:25.283-06:00I have been to Tampa and your thinking is good.
