Yesterday my Mum and I were talking about DVD players when she asked if our PS2 played DVDs, I responded saying "yeah, but I dont bother using it, it doesn't have a remote control". I then thought about how ironic it was that earlier in the week I had been complaining about getting fat, asking myself how on earth will I find the motivation to exercise if I can't even get off my butt to press play on the PS2?
Why is it that our society has gotten so hung up on getting things faster than you can say 'technology'? Why are people willing to tear a room apart looking for the remote control rather than going over to press 'play' or 'off'? Isn't it a contradiction for people to set up a treadmill in front of their TV and use the cup holder as a spot for the remote?
I've decided this week instead of telling myself I'm going for a run when I get home, I'm just going to take the batteries out of my remote.
