Modern communication makes me feel talented

I am not talented.

This is not uncommon knowledge. I can't sing or act, I'm not all that smart. My writing leaves something to be desired and a good half of my friends have the pathological need to correct my grammar (the latter does not amuse me, they do not seem to care). Something, however, does make me feel talented:

Would it impress you to know that as I write this I'm carrying on 2 text conversations, 3 facebook chats, and a skype phone date?

Probably not. But it does make me smile when I can keep all the information from these conversations straight and respond in-kind.

Props to modern technology for making subsequent generations of humans victims of ADD, but awesome instant communicators/information gatherers. Jewelry will never catch my attention like my text ringtone or that little beep that sounds when my friends facebook message me.

Shiny things probably never saw this one coming.

As one of those with a pathological need to correct your grammar, let me say this: I don't need you to be amused, but I would like it if you were interested.
