After
three weeks with very limited technology… I think I’m back; at least I hope
so! (I just got an error message on my
laptop, I’m hoping it was a fluke.)
I’m not exactly sure what happened or
what I was supposed to learn from it, but both my laptop and phone crashed
within a week of each other and my tablet has always been moody on a day by day
basis.
I got my first computer in 1997 and my
first cell phone in 2003, but if you had seen me in action over the past three
weeks you would have thought I was born with one in each hand. I could hardly function… as evidenced by two
weeks without a blog post, right?
I won’t chalk it up as a completely
negative experience. I got caught up on
reading the books I had downloaded to my Nook months ago. (Okay, yes, that’s technology, too.) I seem to have broken my addiction to a few
games I had on my phone, as well as Facebook.
I probably got more sleep.
I had a lot of time to think about
life before all this technology. Remember
when we used to hang out with friends and actually talk to each other instead
of sitting in a room with a handful of people staring at their phones? Maybe that was the lesson in all of
this? Technology is good when it’s used
accordingly, but it’s not the be all and end all of everything.
