The Canyon Man And His Fight Against Modern Technology
Nowadays, it's pretty much a given that we have entered what can only be considered the modern age (though the so-called 'modern age' supposedly started in 1700). In fact, modernity is everywhere one cares to look, and even the Amish are getting in on the act, putting new ultralight horseshoes on their animals that promise 50 miles per bag of oats, at minimum.
However, there's one guy who is still refusing to leave the Age of Sail and get with at least the Age of Aquarius, let alone the age of digital cellular communication. Known as 'Canyon Man, ' this guy can be seen working under his car every Sunday morning, surrounded by a cloud of noxious exhaust fumes whenever it's running. If he has his way, he'll even be buried in that car, sad to say.
Now why Mr. Canyon Man is still sporting a leather watch band that probably came off the back of some poor animal who didn't quite live up to expectations back in 1902 is a definite question for the ages, but the fact is he's out there supporting it and will never consider what futurists refer to as 'digital watches' and what most people refer to as just a 'watch' nowadays.
In addition, Mr. Canyon Man can't bear the thought of giving up that beloved television of his. Everybody knows what it looks like, and the chances are fairly high that the wood the console was made of came off some sailing ship that went down off the Carolina coast during the War of 1812 or thereabouts. The picture tube crackles and hisses, but Canyon Man loves it with a passion bordering on something resembling what Rasputin the Mad Monk demonstrated on occasion.
It will be a fair bet -- in fact, this kind of bet should be taken all the way to the bank -- that Canyon Man won't be coming anywhere near something like a custom LCD television at anytime in the near or far future. He also probably has never heard the words 'DVD player' (let alone 'VCR') in his life without uttering a string of profanities once those words had hit his auditory sensory organs, otherwise known as 'ears.'
What will Canyon Man do when he realizes that the television he owns can no longer pick up signals without the benefit of something called a 'digital converter box?' He may just pass out after hearing the words 'digital converter box, ' in fact. He probably would also suffer a fatal cardiac event if he heard 'liquid crystal display' and how it's lit through means of LED backlight technologies. It'll be just too much for him and his brain, unfortunately.
For many of us, the fight that Canyon Man engages in to avoid all of the wonders of modern technology is important because we're the ones who are going to have to put up with him as we move into even more high-tech adventures. There probably won't be a seat on the bus for a guy wearing a leisure suit, let alone anybody having the patience to deal with the cloud of smoke from his car's exhaust.
