Weather
We have not changed the weather....Weather has changed us....
Years ago the weather report was confined to the last 1 minute
of a 15 minute TV or radio news report....In this new world
of 24/7 news and information, weather has taken over a
sizable portion of the broadcast hour......
Years ago the, intelligent, human being knew it was raining
or going to rain and dressed accordingly taking along an umbrella...
If it was a cold day, they added additional clothing....If it was
warmer they wore less of it.....
Now during your news hour, you are told how hot or cold it is
along with how hot or cold you should feel......If you do not feel
the way the weather report says you should, some one will
advise you for five or ten minutes on how to properly react
to the outdoor conditions...Have we become so dumb...Pumps
