As I sit and ponder on life’s imponderables, I added another to my list.
What will become of my inanimate furballs – all my Garfields when I report to the heavenly realm?
Will the people who receive them find them “useless” as these days, drones, gaming consoles or computer games are the rage.
Will my inanimate furballs be treated as a waste of space and thrown out, to be incinerated?
Garfield, like any soft toy or cottony stuffed toy is only meant for cuddles and hugging. It does not talk back not does it give you a score should you use it to thwack anyone with it.
As the world spins and changes in tandem to the tune of being a smart nation status, we hear of block chain technology.
Jobs change – these days we have drone operators. Literally flying a drone as a vocation! A job come true for those who love piloting without need to climb into the cockpit.
We also have platform developers and we do not mean platform shoes..oh no no!
These are platforms for online stores, shopping for ordering eats.
For food delivery, we have Deliveroo, Food Panda, Honest Bee and a whole host of other delivery food companies.
One need not walk out of the home spend money and have goods delivered to your doorstep.
Garfield cannot do any of these. He just sits and stares back me.
He stays where I leave him. Immortalized in pose as I leave him for work and on my return, I will regret leaving him on his head!
Yes, Garfield may soon become an obsolete, alongside the Teddy Bears, Disney characters and other plushies.
I am from another planet – old school…..I will join many others who are soppies for a Garfield hug!
