technology

technology is incredible these days. It is kind of crazy what you can do with a devise that fits in your pocket. But it is a real pain when it does not work properly or at least like you expect it to. For example when our computer is running very slow while on the internet. E-mail is supposed to make communication so much faster; but when it is running slow it is not only slow but also frustrating. I am currently trying to send a newsletter, it has timed out on me twice already. Now i have a "high speed" internet connection mind you. I have been working on it for two hours already and i am not even half way. I neglected to save both times. Why? you may ask... Autosave, i figured i did not need to worry about it. Autosave did not help me as i was working in an area that it did not support. I even typed it all out a couple days ago, so yes all i am trying to do is to insert it into the template and add some photos. I still have the ability to write much faster then i can type. In the time it has taken me to put together this newsletter i could quite literally hand written it out cut a pasted photos and sent it to be photocopied. So that is where my question comes in, does technology really make our lives more easy? Or does it just make us feel that our lives are more easy so that we can fill our schedules with more stuff. In the time i was waiting for pages to load I did a load of laundry, and typed this whole blog, on my phone. So now two and a half hours later i just sent the newsletter. Ah... Technology.
