Technology. You love to hate it but we're so reliant on it! For example, I just had a conversation with my brother Robert on
MSN Video Chat (we usually use
Skype but he's in Northern BC right now and doesn't have a great connection. MSN seems to use less bandwidth so it's more reliable). During that conversation I was checking my
email and using
Facebook to chat with Seth's fiance Brittany about Seth and Robert connecting via MSN. And during THAT I got a
BlackBerry Message (BBM) from one of my friends following up on a conversation we had started earlier.
Earlier today I had been texing with my mom and tonight, after checking a few friends' blogs, I am doing my own blogging. Not to mention actually talking to my mom on the phone earlier.
Back "in the day" the phone was the only way of connecting, aside from snail mail. I remember my mom calling her mom and it costing something like 30 cents a minutes. Or maybe more. Something like that. A half hour phone call was around $10 each. Crazy.
So even though technology is a bit of a master, it is very useful and I am, for the most part, thankful for it.
