I may be living with a robot. Besides actually trying to talk like a robot, walk like a robot and calling himself “T-900” (which I think is one of the coolest names for a robot ever), my three-year-old son runs on apps.

I’m a podcast listener. A perfect diversion when driving to and from work, podcasts are entertaining and educational. They give me stuff to think about (not the news – I don’t want to think about that).

I saw an interesting report on ABC’s “World News” recently where a group of high school teachers in Seattle, Washington decided to conduct a research study testing students’ addiction to social networking and their reliance on computers, the Internet and smartphones. Could tech-starved teens survive a lesser diet of Facebook, Twitter, text messaging and instant messaging in exchange for socializing in person or having actual verbal conversations?

Lexicon, much like the giraffe, can be a strange animal. Trends and technologies come and go, but some words and phrases have a way of hanging around despite the fact their actual intended uses have become very nearly or completely archaic.

If you’re not sure about Twitter, try listening first.
