Driving home from Alison’s house today the only thing I could think of was will that email I’ve been waiting for be in my mailbox…

When I woke up this morning first thing I did was turn on the computer to see what was on msn…

Over the past few days I’ve come to the realization I’ve become a slave to all the technology around me. And I also notice this in other people as well. From computers to cell phones everyone has their addictions when it comes to technology.

When we venture to far from the internet or our cell phones, we start to feel out of place. Like we are no longer connected to what is happening around us, no longer a participant just an observer. Whenever you take a trip, first thing you do when you get home is check your emails, to reconnect with life.

A lot of times the only time people can truly rest is when they are taken away from there computers, in a position where they can no longer reach them. Once being at home was the rescue from work and stress. But with computers now everywhere home has a lot of stress associated with it, especially being a university student.

This rant wasn’t meant to be anti technology, because truthfully I could never give up my computer… however it is just a little reminder that every once in a while we have to put ourselves in positions distancing ourselves from technology… even if just for a moment.
