I’m with Jeremy on this one,although these “devices” are convenient I believe they tend to make a person stupid. One just has to ask themselves how reliant They are on Their calculator, g.p.s., cell phone etc. to get along in Their daily routine.

Harry and Jeremy-

At this point I think I can pick and choose which components of today’s technology I’m comfortable with. I just smile when I leave home without my smart phone and I have paper maps in the glove box of my car. I’m just not comfortable having a computer talk to me or write something for me to read. But yes, my business is robotic/automated ice vending and I monitor/control it using the internet, text messages. wireless modems and e-mail. I noticed and cleared a machine malfunction and vended a bag of ice in Texas while sitting behind our table at the last Cody show. As far as this application is concerned I’ll file it under junk science. I can probably do as well with the Red Book and a pencil and paper. I figure if I can amortize a 30yr home loan with a Realty Blue Book, pocket calculator, pencil and legal pad I can SWAG a DOM.
