Technology

Technology is great, but when it decides not to work it is a pain in the butt! As I am writing my blog this week, I sit at the empo, specifically computer 3H3 because my laptop crashed this week and I am waiting for a new hard drive to arrive from HP. Every time I needed to check my email or to work on school work, I either had to go to the library, Math Empo, or use friends laptop since mine won’t be fixed until later this week. I have come to truly appreciate having my own laptop this week while mine is broken. Many people take for granted having a laptop and not having to go to the library or somewhere else to use the Internet or even complete work. Along with not having a computer, Facebook is also gone too. It seems that everyone is always on it, even if it was just sitting there and you were doing other work. I know that we have done that and I was bad about it, but let me tell you that we can survive without Facebook. The Internet has become addictive to everyone, along with technology in general. Along with Facebook, there is ITunes, computer games and many other social networking sites that are very addictive. My computer crashed on Thursday and since then I have come to realize that I rely on my computer to do everything. I think if everybody had to go with out technology for a day- including iPods, cell phones, laptops and what ever else we use daily, we wouldn’t know what to do because we are that addicted, especially to our cell phones. Everybody has their cell phone with him or her wherever they go. One of my friends actually has to go to his biology professor and ask for his cell phone back and explain while he had it out during class, because he left it after class and his professor now has it. It would be very difficult for me and I know it would be harder for some people who are even more addicted to their iPods and phones. So I challenge you to go one day without a computer, cell phone, or iPod. It is very difficult because in today’s society we use them for everything.
