You wanted to be happy? You bought a new car ’cause a’that? You ran personal ads and joined a online datin’ service cause y’thought you’d find true love there, and git true happiness?
Well y’probly found out by now that none’a that stuff works. So since everbody’s lookin’ fer it, we went’n found it f’everbody. Here it is: technology. Ding Dong! We got it now! Who says? The BBC fer one. Jis’ look at whu’tay say:
“Technology linked to happiness, study claims
“BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, analysed the results of a survey of 35,000 people around the world. Access to communication devices was found to be the most valued.”
See? there’s y’happiness. Jist pick up y’iPhone an shout hallaluya!
Then they’s this’un:
Celebrity Twitter messages show happiness
“Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have been analysing celebrity Twitter messages in a bid to find out how happy the senders are.
Basketball player Shaquille O’Neale was said to be the happiest tweeter, followed by cyclist Lance Armstrong and television presenter Jonathan Ross. The rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg was the least happy.”
Now don’tat make sense? We’re on t’sumpm here. Also, BBC wonts us t’know that Almost four in five people around the world believe that access to the internet is a fundamental right. ‘Ey foun’dat out by takin’ another survey.
But hold on. Ey’s always somebody messin’ thangs up. Readers Digest pokes its head up an says iss:
Harvard Psychologist Daniel Gilbert has made happiness his lifelong pursuit an he says happiness is walkin t’work an goin to church. The church part is not about religion, he says, it’s about holdin hands ‘n singin’ an knowin’ somebody there would bring you soup if you got sick. We needed at Harvard psychologist t’come up with ‘at? Duh-h.
Then Forbes really messes it up for everybody when ‘ey predict that by the year 2020 tech will be so commonplace that we won’t even notice it. KILLJOYS! Whut’ll we do fer happiness then?
