I've tried to create nests on my “Smart phone” home screen which hold shortcuts to everything I do with my device in simple and easily understood order. Most are one word labels such as office, shop, network, tools, device, etc.

However, I have two nests with two and three word descriptors: “Dumb Shit” and “Shit to do”.

“Dumb Shit” contains shortcuts to apps which control erroneously dubbed “Smart Home Devices”. And by extension, “Smart Phones” are equally erroneous because when auto-correct argues with me about the correct usage between then and than, they simply aren't that fucking smart! And this very blogging software won't allow me to indent paragraphs or even place blank lines between them!

“Shit To Do” contains shortcuts to things like Igo, Mancala, Farkle, 80's arcade games, and shortcuts to online libraries of digital and actual books that I've bought over time.

I think there's some sort of point I'm attempting to make in this but simply can't put my finger on it. But I'm seriously expressing the reason the world is in the state in which it finds itself. It discourages education and insists that you use ignorance to basically make everyone stop critical thinking and that if you do have an idea of something to do, it often forces you to do it incorrectly!

Sometimes I wish I'd anticipated my current situation better, drug my old quaintly dubbed “vintage equipment” out, cleaned and dusted it off, and sat up my old handheld pocket PC's and DOS PC's before hand. There was a bit of a learning curve to it but it never insisted that you proceed incorrectly and literally force people to misuse something as simple as correct use of grammar!
