"I Love Technology..."


I honestly don't know how we ever exsisted without PC's and Cell Phones. My PC had a very bad virus and had to be rebuilt, so I have been without it for the last 3 weeks. I had my laptop, but it is not the same. It is such a part of my daily schedule to come home from work and check my email, facebook and surf a bit for the best travel deals! I felt lost without my technology! I felt disconnected and had to make my primary visual aids by hand! Imagine! But thanks to a great technician, I am back up and running. I just wish that everyone used the computer for good and that those making evil viruses had better things to do.


I remember just a few years ago, being annoyed while shopping at Dillards, by someone on blabbing on their cell phone, and at that time, thought "I will never get one of those!" Well, now I use mine more than my home phone... go figure. I do think we need to have some cell phone etiquette, as some people are quite rude in their use of them. The thing I enjoy though, is being able to stay connected to those I love. I get pictures of my sweet grandchildren and text messages and updates from my children, friends and others. Even when we are far away on vacation, I feel close by. My son in the Coast Guard pops up on a web cam and there he is, right in my den! Yes, as Kip says in Napoleon Dynamite: "I Love Technology..."
