Thanks to today\u2019s technology, I am able to be in contact with people around the world whom I would otherwise not speak to. For example, I have a WhatsApp chat with two Talmidei Chachamim (Torah scholars), one in Eretz Yisrael (Israel) and one in Australia, where we discuss different Torah topics<\/a> and get each other\u2019s feedback on our ideas. It also gives me an appreciation for Hashem (God)\u2019s creation of time zones so that even in our small group, it\u2019s always awake time for one of us, and the learning of Torah<\/a> continues uninterruptedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, my friend in Australia also occasionally sends me jokes. This time it was this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Q: If someone from the 1950\u2019s suddenly appeared today, what would be the most difficult thing to explain to them about life today?<\/em><\/strong>
A: I possess in my pocket a device capable of accessing the entirety of information available to Man. I use it to view pictures of cats and get into arguments with strangers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Though I smiled for an instant, this didn\u2019t make me laugh – it made me think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology – A Powerful Tool Going to Waste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clearly, what would be so difficult for the person from the 1950s to understand is that you have such a powerful tool in your hands yet you use it for the most inane purposes possible. It\u2019s not that the technology is beyond their understanding, but rather they can\u2019t fathom the simple fact that we don\u2019t recognize what a waste it is, and can discuss it almost without irony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, that is the heart of the joke. That we DO recognize how laughable it is. To have such potential; such an opportunity for greatness, and it\u2019s channeled towards ridiculous things. But is that something we should be laughing about? I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s more of a joke, what he sent me or the people it\u2019s referring to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly, there are many who take advantage of all the opportunities to learn Torah<\/a> and do mitzvot that are afforded by today\u2019s technology, but there are an overwhelming number who use it for the most wasteful and even harmful things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Killing Time – It’s No Joke.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It does not even need to be technology. What about time? I\u2019ve heard it said that one of the most apt expressions is, \u201ckilling time.\u201d Indeed, time is something that cannot be gotten back and yet, we rarely appreciate it in the moment. We may throw it away, or fill it with silliness and emptiness. Now, that is not to say there isn\u2019t a time for playfulness, levity, or joking around. If life were serious, all the time it would not be as joyful. The trick is being able to be joyful and lighthearted with purpose. Sometimes you need to be able to relax, and that\u2019s important too. But that shouldn\u2019t be the beginning and end of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Does Our Money Go?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk about other things we undervalue. How about money? Imagine you met that same fellow from the 1950s and told him you have enough money to support a number of families and Yeshivos, and you use it instead to buy fancy clothes or cars, go out to restaurants where you can drop enough in an evening to pay several Kollel <\/em>(Institute for advanced Talmudic studies for married men) salaries for a month, and travel to distant locales where you sit in a hotel and do nothing. What would he think then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, many of us can identify what we spend money on without feeling sheepish about it, even if we ought to be a bit embarrassed. Of course, when Hashem blesses you with means, you can take advantage of it and enjoy the money, but are you essentially giving it away for the value equivalent of watching a video of a cat with a party hat pawing at an invisible predator?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surely, many people are quite generous and do wonderful things with what they have, and I\u2019m not talking about that. I\u2019m focused on trying to recognize the waste that goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intelligence, Wit, Talent – To Build or to Tear Down?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What about intelligence, wit, or talent? All these things are gifts we should not squander. Are we using our intellect for good purposes, or are we focused on making ourselves feel better than others? Do we use our wit to build people up, or tear them down? Please don\u2019t tell me it\u2019s the latter; I don\u2019t think I could handle that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we use our creativity to inspire, or just to get a cheap laugh, often at the expense of others or maybe at the expense of Avodat Hashem<\/em> (serving Hashem), chas v\u2019shalom<\/em> (God forbid)? To be honest, I\u2019m glad my friend shared this joke with me, because it reminded me that some things are simply no laughing matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
