Re: "All I got" is LOGIC -- therefore, I have nothing...
Hey, TW. I'm Tina - a new member here on the forum. And I hear what you're saying. Things that make no sense whatsoever to me are making other people money, left and right.
A specific, personal example from me: several years back, I was handed an opportunity to review a new style of books for a major publishing company. I took one look, pshawed the whole idea, and turned them down. Wouldn't you know? They were the "next big thing." Just my luck, huh? So I told myself the next incredibly stupid idea I heard about, I was going to jump on it with both feet, eyes closed, and hit the ground running. Why? Why would any sensible, sane person do that? Because "it's what works." Ha. As for the "logic" behind ringtones, it's all about nostalgia for a lot of people. Hearing even a few notes of a song brings back fond memories of a time gone by. For others, it's all about the "shock factor." Who would dare play something like THAT in public? Anyone looking to stand out in the crowd, to be different from everyone else. There are many more "reasons" to go along with the ringtone thing, but it's highly unlikely even one of them are logical in the "you need this to survive" sense. Unless you know it's all about "emotional" needs -- and those, too, are required. Maybe not to survive, but to make us feel good enough about ourselves so we even CARE to survive. Hmm. Maybe that didn't make sense. Who wouldn't "care" enough to fight for their own survival? Okay, now I'm rambling, so I'll stop. Just wanted to pop in and say "Hi," really. And here I've gone and said a lot more. Must get duct tape. Be still, fingers! Still! No more typing! (lol) Tina Quote:
