Today I thought about just how relaxing it is to actually get away from all this new technology every once in a while. I know that this technology has definately enhanced many parts of our lives, this is unarguable. However, i was thinking back to this summer when I went backpacking for three days. It was very nice not to be worried about who sent you a text, email, or wrote on your wall. It is also discouraging that people become too dependant on these things. I'll try not to be hypocrytical, because sometimes I use media based technology excessively too, but so many people seem to cling to their blackberry or iPhone and constantly check different scores/news/facebook. I think it's good that these things are so easily available, but I wish that they wouldn't always distract us from noticing other people/things. I'm definately not against this new stuff, it's really practical, but we need to step away from it at times too.
peace
