The Blue Screen of Death
An overreliance on technology means that invariably a writer will be left hanging when said technology breaks. I have become so used to the screen that I spent the last several days moping around, unable to work on my latest novel.
My plethora of notebooks is a testament to how I used to write. Why is it so difficult for me to write without technology now? Pencils break, but there is always a pencil sharpener.
And another pencil.
Ink pens run out of ink, but I have plenty more in reserve. Paper never breaks. It can brown or get damaged, but I’ve had these notebooks for a LONG time.
So it is a reminder to me that while technology is a helpful tool, it can also be a handicap.
I put pen to paper.
Lesson learned.
Maybe.

“You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things you've done anymore." - #CommanderWilliamAdama
‘#BattlestarGalactica’ Raised #EthicalQuestions About #AI [and #ArtificialLife and #NetworkedComputers vulnerable to #Hacking]

Feb 4, 2026, 7:17 PM EST"In the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, #CommanderAdama (Edward James Olmos) takes a moment to honor the dead and also raise an ethical point about what creating the Cylons has done. Humanity was responsible for creating a robotic slave force to make their lives easier. The Cylons eventually rebelled against their conditions and evolved enough to appear human. They came back to take their revenge. After Caprica is bombed, Adama understands the responsibility that humanity has. It is their fault that the Cylons returned and committed large-scale violence."

The White House May Condemn Musk, but the Government Is Addicted to Him | Rarely has the U.S. government so depended on the technology provided by a single technologist with views that it has so publicly declared repugnant.
