Call it old age, call it skepticism, call it cynicism, call it senility, whatever you want, it is a strange and awkward feeling.
Things have changed. It use to be that what you saw and what people said was fact.
If you saw someone walking down the street, you could be pretty sure it was really them and not a holographic image, not a phony lookalike with a pasted on head.
Now you can not be sure.

Not a good warm fuzzy feeling.
Funny how we grew up believe things that were were taught. Lot of it was reinforced with visual aids.
The ad business in Mexico is catching up with the rest of the digital manipulators. A click here, a overlay there and viola, you have an end result.
So when you hear someone say, I saw it with my own eyes, which is a common saying, remember this link......

And you will see what I mean.
So the moral of the story is this year take a little time and think about stuff just a tad more......
