The worst updates are the ones that need to restart after install. I opened an application that I had not used in a month. It demanded that an update be done right then. Sometimes I can request for updates to be done later. Some updates just install whether I like it or not.

The irony is that the pen and paper method of working is considered outdated. I admit that I like computer technology and the way that technology has improved our lives but technology has also made our lives more difficult. So the pen and paper method starts looking more appetizing.

I sometimes just grab a notepad and pen and start writing the old fashioned way. The notepad never needs an update although when I run out of paper I have to grab another notepad.

The pen never needs an update although it does need ink replaced on occasion. The pencil does not need an update although it can run out of lead. I can deal with these minor details by having several notepads, pens, and pencils.

In this age of going paperless I sometimes prefer paper. It is easier to grab a pen and paper and start writing my notes. While on a computer even if I do not have to start up I still have to log in, find the application I want to use, and then start typing. Then there are the updates that want to begin their process and I have to wait (sometimes) until the update is done.

During two updates today I had time to wonder. What if nature did updates on our bodies? There would be advantages and disadvantages.

I am at an age where I need to start wearing bifocals. It was bad enough that I had to start wearing glasses at a young age. Perhaps an update could restore my vision to twenty-twenty.

My hair also needs an update. The gray is showing. My belly fat needs a downgrade. My breathing could use an update. My wife claims I snore louder now.

The disadvantage of a body update would be the need to restart after install. I am sure if my heart had an update, I would need to be revived afterwords. Same thing is probably true regarding my lungs and other vital organs.

A brain update would be beneficial if new information was inserted and old unnecessary information was deleted. And teeth! I think we should have baby teeth, young adult teeth, middle-aged adult teeth, and older-adult teeth.

Why do we only get two sets of teeth? A new set of teeth every ten years would be great. No more implants. No more dentures. No crowns, bridges, or cavity repairs. And best of all no more dentist visits!

Science can probably provide us with updates in the future. And now that I think about it that is probably why we need to go to the doctor for a checkup each year. Since nature does not provide us with an update, the doctor does.

Currently, I am being prescribed a blood pressure update, an allergy update, and an acid reflux update. I only hope I will not need any other updates after my checkup this year.

Well back to the computer. Updates are done but I completely forgot what I was going to write about. I need a memory update.
