While writing the previous blog, the ideas and thoughts spawned something else in my brain.
After a recent eye-opener, I realized that I am addicted to technology. I can't go a day without e-mail, Facebook, MySpace, or checking out my blog. I check my e-mail multiple times throughout the day, I check my social networking sites out at least once a day.
More and more people are getting new phones that have Internet capabilities. The current phone I have, it has my e-mail set up so I can receive my e-mails as they come in. I really like being able to stay up on my e-mail and it is nice to have it on my phone for while I am out.
MySpace and Facebook have capabilities as well for updating your status and uploading pictures directly from your phone. While it is nice, it causes for some problems as I am constantly checking to see what is going on with my friends.
Whatever happened to just making a phone call? Now my friends text and don't really like talking on the phone. I love getting phone calls and hearing other people. I was happy the other day that the first phone call in a while was an automated phone call from American Red Cross. Most of the time the communication done is through text messaging.
Technology has taken over my world. How about yours?
I am the same way. I find myself constantly being distracted by Facebook, iTunes, email, you name it! Thankfully my phone has no internet plan set up with it because then I would really be in trouble.
