Technology

Imagine going through your day without being able to text, skype, email, bbm, facebook, instagram, twitter etc etc... It's hard to believe how dependent we have become to the above mentioned items in our life... Last night, I was in a slight fender bender when my phone (that was on my lap) fell to the side of my seat right on the edge of the door.. Being that it was dark I couldn't see it.. When I went to open the door it fell face first to the ground.. So there goes my Droid!! I can't operate it at all.. What a helpless feeling... Thankfully nothing happened to my car or me.. Just the phones screen was all cracked..

Which lead me to this new post... How dependent are we on technology???  I have no idea anyone's number anymore... I can't remember what I'm doing or what I'm supposed to be doing if my phone doesn't alert me... It's incredible how dependent we are... We sit there and talk, text, email, and we can't remember anyones number!! I personally had to go thru Facebook to alert everyone that I will be without a phone until further notice.. Because I couldn't call anyone and much less do I remember their numbers...

I remember back in the day (when he had beepers) we knew everyone's number... What happened to us??? I think that the only number that I know is my work one... Because I need to know it... Needless to say, I know that I myself am a PHONE HOG... I need it, can't live without it and it sucks.... Thankfully, I was able to log in thru my laptop and email everyone that I don't have a phone...Oh and get some awesome friend to be my human wake up call, because my phone is also my alarm!! It's impossible to imagine driving, going to school, at work, at home without being connected...

I am hoping that being without a phone until mine either gets fixed or I have to purchase a new one, teaches me not to be so dependent on it.. This will be a true test of how I can try to survive on not having to be on my phone 24/7..
