COMPUTERS HELP YOU RUIN SOMEONES DAY OR MAKE THEM HAPPY TO BE ALIVE

From a FUTURE SHOW ON AIR JUDGE WYLD SHOW - Radio Talk
Excerpt from show prep notes. On air content may have been more or less. Not journalistic or debate notes.


The reach of the computer.

How far out it can reach to affect someone’s day.
Back in the old days, you only saw who you saw and you only called a few friends. You saw people at the store, at work, in the neighborhood and at church and that was about it. You either made people happy or made them mad…. But it was just a few people.


But now you can tick off and ruin someone’s day who lives across the country. You work with people by computer and maybe never ever even talk to them on the phone. You belong to groups through professional organizations, or maybe by buying from them. You might ‘meet’ people socially online with an interest group or even dating. You email greetings and email thoughts on professional or personal things. YOU CAN RUIN THEIR DAY!!! You can call them bad names. You can point out things about them that are BAD about them and they will be MAD!!! People you never met, will CRY, and be TORN apart. Will have a SLEEPLESS NIGHT for several nights… will not be able to concentrate to go to work… use sick day at work.


But is that all …. NO .. that is not all. This week, if you are sincere, if you KNOW what you are doing, you can cheer someone up. I am not talking about a dumb little inane NON FOCUSED ‘have a good day’….. but real pointed counsel and advice. This week a person across the country took a professional test and passed… like a CPA certified public accountant, like passing an attorney’s bar exam… this professional test was IMPORTANT…. They passed it… so the email went out across the USA to people in that profession… YIIIIIPPIEEEE Karen had passed the test!!! But wait…. Hundreds of people didn’t know that Karen had FAILED the test last year… but the email said that it was Karen’s second attempt. So all of these people of that profession who received the email were told that she had failed the first time. Even though she had passed this year, she was NOT PLEASED that everyone now knew that she didn’t pass last year.


So I sent an email back. Stating how much of an inspiration she is to others who may take the test lightly. May not study as hard as they should. Will now study hard and many people will pass this year because of knowing that it is a hard test.
That others may fail the test and will give up. But her situation will show them that they can study some more and pass. Do not give up.


And personally, people won’t know that she didn’t want it to be known that she failed the first time. They will see her as secure and strong enough to share her experience.


A detailed email, specific and true from another point of view, CHEERED KAREN UP. TREMENDOUSLY. Never met me.


We have the capability with technology, to be neutral, and that is fine, To be direct and helpful which may change lives or just make them mad, and to add a true, sincere, detailed encouragement.


Sincerely, JUDGE WYLD
