Saving Time For......?

As our new techno communication system has become speedier...for some reason, our ability to read and write has to be transformed also. After all, since it takes so much LESS time to send an email than write a letter, it makes total sense that you be replaced by y o u, since those two (2) extra letters take such an enormous amount of extra time to type!
(YO YO YO YO) time yourself!
Then there's the number/letter style which may actually save you a fragment of a second to type but on the receiving end some of us are (r) at a loss as to the meaning of the message and can take inordinate amounts of frustrated time decoding it....
4 u 2 b l8 u r 2 sk8 2 ur d8 b4 8 ! (get the idea!)
Also....I do wonder what everyone is doing with all this "saved" time...good works?....good books...? I'm not sure...but I don't think so....but I do have this gnawing image in my head of the "new death" ...a death too terrible tell...but in the interest of this Blog I'm going to share....at the end...(at least what we anticipate to be the end) we time efficient humans draw (or rather draw out) our last breath in accordance with the amount of "time saved"....think ......it could go on for days....weeks....months....nursing home halls filled to capacity with the "brevity breathers"....on the very cusp of death...mouths open....eyes wide....wishing they had written "your" in it's entirety....think about it now...before it's 2 l8!!!!!
