Hands On
Since I work in computers, I stumbled across an interesting and at the same time disturbing unix command. I found this command called 'touch' which allows a person to modify the date/time of a file so that is can retain some arbitrary date and not change the modified time. When you want to see how to use a command it usually has a manual page. This manual page is accessed by typing man then the command. In the case of touch you get...

     man touch

Now I'm not one to speculate on things. So I'll just throw out a couple of things and let the rest of the world decide how they want to interpret this command. Could this command imply that with the future growth in technology that this will allow for self serving endeavors on the part of the user. Maybe it's meant as a shopping command and a man to touch will be provided on your door step. The possibilities are endless. Well maybe not endless, but I really don't need some disturbing image of some pimply face guy man touching. Well time to go poke the minds eye out.

Hey where you going? Get back here... bye for now.
