I find it horribly sad how much we depend on technology these days. My laptop needs a new hard drive, and I am dying without it! I am using a loner currently from Grandma's church, but it isn't the same. I wish I could get on WoW for awhile...lol.
I also continuously lose/misplace flash drives. It's pretty frustrating. Luckily I don't need what was on there too badly...but still!!! ARGH
And classes, everything is by email or on Blackboard or something now. It's hard to imagine how life was before computers...but you know what? My whole life I've had computers! I definitely didn't depend on them this much before though.
I hate how some little kids, 6 and 7 even, have laptops! Go outside and run around! You're young and full of energy, don't waste away in front of the computer or TV screen like some of us older people! I count myself as one of those older people. Sadly, I don't have the same energy I used to have. But I still take time to walk outside and read a good book. No movie or computer game can beat the power of the written word or the loveliness of a walk outside. :)
May we never forget how powerful the outside world is.
If all the computers in the world crashed, if all our cell phones and pagers or black berrys stopped working...what would we do? Panic. But hopefully we'd eventually realize what else is out there...
