			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You wanted to be happy? You bought a new car &#8217;cause a&#8217;that? You ran personal ads and joined a online datin&#8217; service cause y&#8217;thought you&#8217;d find true love there, and git true happiness?</p>
<p>Well y&#8217;probly found out by now that none&#8217;a that stuff works. So since everbody&#8217;s lookin&#8217; fer it, we went&#8217;n found it f&#8217;everbody. Here it is: technology. Ding Dong! We got it now! Who says? The BBC fer one. Jis&#8217; look at whu&#8217;tay say:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Technology linked to happiness, study claims</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>See? there&#8217;s y&#8217;happiness. Jist pick up y&#8217;iPhone  an shout hallaluya!</p>
<p>Then they&#8217;s this&#8217;un:</p>
<p><strong>Celebrity Twitter messages show happiness</strong><br />
&#8220;Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have been analysing  celebrity Twitter messages in a bid to find out how happy the senders  are.</p>
<p>Basketball player Shaquille O&#8217;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now don&#8217;tat make sense? We&#8217;re on t&#8217;sumpm here. Also, BBC wonts us t&#8217;know that Almost four in five people around the world believe that access to the internet is a fundamental right. &#8216;Ey foun&#8217;dat out by takin&#8217; another survey.</p>
<p>But hold on. Ey&#8217;s always somebody messin&#8217; thangs up. Readers Digest pokes its head up an says iss:</p>
<p>Harvard Psychologist Daniel Gilbert has made happiness his lifelong pursuit an he says happiness is walkin t&#8217;work an goin to church. The church part is not about religion, he says, it&#8217;s about holdin hands &#8216;n singin&#8217; an knowin&#8217; somebody there would bring you soup if you got sick. We needed at Harvard psychologist t&#8217;come up with &#8216;at? Duh-h.</p>
<p>Then Forbes really messes it up for everybody when &#8216;ey predict that by the year 2020 tech will be so commonplace that we won&#8217;t even notice it. KILLJOYS! Whut&#8217;ll we do fer happiness then?</p>
