Just the other day, I officially joined the 21st century! Well, I still haven't taken a selfie or joined Instagram, so I suppose that's still debatable. However, for the longest time, I was reluctant on joining the text message craze. I spent 12 hours a day working on the computer. Why on earth would I want to continue poking away at keys/buttons with my fingers when away from the PC - especially keys/buttons much smaller than those presented on the keyboard? But, as an increasing number of people swapped landlines for cell phones, and an increasing number of people swapped talking on their cell phones with text messaging on them, I finally had to give in to the temptation. I'm still intent on never texting while on a date at a restaurant, however. Yes, I still have standards.
I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...
