I hate to do the dishes, but everywhere I look I see dishes-dirty, messy, dishes. But wait a minute, which generation are we in? After all, thirty years ago, most of our dishes were in the kitchen either in the sink waiting to be washed, drying on the counter, or perhaps in the cupboard patiently waiting to be used again.
Today we see “dishes” everywhere. They are on our rooftops, porches, and brackets mounted to the side of our houses. They have opened a whole new world of entertainment and enlightenment to us. Like television antennas in the fifties, every house has to have one whether they are connected or not. We see them on palaces, million-dollar mansions, tenement buildings, suburban dwellings, and even in remote jungle villages. Unlike the dishes of just one generation ago, our lives have been transformed by high tech dishes that will no doubt remain a significant part of our lives.
Just remember next time someone asks you to wash the dishes, think twice before you respond.
