Thoughts on Technology

I've had lots of people ask me "what makes that so much better?" "why do you use that brand?" and many more questions about technology. I also get the person who hates anything but his old typewriter, well okay maybe not the typewriter, but you get the idea. Why does it seem that people draw a line in the sand about technology. Either live with it, or without it and that final? Well I have always lived with as much technology around me as I can. I am all for letting technology help me in my life any and every way I can. The polar opposite of this is of course the guy or girl who doesn't have an e-mail address, doesn't have a cell phone, has a computer but doesn't use it for anything, reads a actual paper. Okay the last one is still a useful way of getting news. but you see my point. We have come into an ever growing world of technology and that technology is what drives all the things we do in our daily lives.

I will be the first one to tell you. I almost go into a panic state if I forget my iPhone someplace or if the battery dies and I can't get to a charger soon. Being disconnected from the world makes me crazy. Not knowing if I have received a e-mail, not knowing if a twitter update or reply has come in. Sounds silly, but that is how half of my life is lived. I say half because in my field of work, e-mail and twitter and sometimes facebook are all ways I do business and get work done. I have just gotten a Google voice number as well and skype is being more of a tool to me then ever before (Google voice review coming soon).

Technology is only going to expand and grow every day, and even every hour. We can not escape technology and it will only prove to help our lives as we move forward towards the future.
