Victim of Technology

I started to read this interesting column from Wired about how our "tech-enabled activity" is making human beings lose our ability to interact and make personal connections, and how more and more, we're cramming too much into each day. But then I got distracted by recharging my iPod, answering a few texts, emails and phone calls, accessing my work email and calendar from home, downloading some new music, and watching football highlights... all at the same time. Wired says 43 hours of tech activity in a 24-hour day is too much? I say, that's weak.

And I would barely know you if e-mail didn't exist! Not to mention that I wouldn't have a career, or be able to survive living away from friends and family.

In my book, a little technology is a good thing, regardless of any negative, long-term sociological repurcussions.
