Cathy: Hi, Mom. Mom on phone: I don't like it when you do that. Cathy: Do what? Mom: Say "Hi, Mom" before I've even said it's me. Cathy: The caller ID says it's you. Mom: I know. It's eroding a lifetime of psychic training! You're supposed to be learning to sense it's me! To just know it's me! Cathy: I do know it's you. Your name pops up on the little screen. Mom: It's supposed to pop up in your brain! Start depending on technology, and your psychic muscles will atrophy! If you can't receive psychically, you can't send psychically... if you can't send psychically, you can't control your children from across the globe... and what kind of future is that for my potential grandbabies?!! Cathy: Sorry, got to go, mom. Irving's beeping in. Mom: One by one, the fine arts are being lost to electronics. Dad: Helen's calling on cell. Are we still pretending our battery's dead?
Cathy’s mom might be onto something, though. By depending more and more on technology, we do lose our ability to listen to our instincts.
