Crippled by technology

As I had stated in my last post, my computer crashed at some point, while we were gone over Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I had it under warranty and thought it would be fixed by now but---- not just yet. They did call to tell me that it can't be fixed so the even better news is that I will get a brand spanking new one. The bad news is that it will be a few more days.

For now, I am limited to making an occasional blog entry at work. Yes, I am slaving away! ;<)

It's funny how dependant we have become on computers. This predicament has really altered my day to day operation. I have an old lap top at home but I can't access the internet with it so I'm finding out how weird it is or maybe more accurately, how dependant I have become upon computers.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing but it was something I was unaware of, for sure. I read somewhere then other day, (can't remember the source so please excuse me) that we live in an age where we have to go to coffee houses with internet access so that we can communicate electronically with people we don't really know, while we sit surrounded by strangers!

That is funny and sad at the same time. It's got me thinking about rediscovering the art of communication, the old fashion way. Actually talking to people! Novel concept, isn't it?
