Technology"

Technology is all over the place. Whether it's at school, work, or even walking down a street, it occupies our lives. Computers rule our world, and in High School, I learned a very valuable lesson from my junior and senior year english teacher. He told me that when I get to college, computers don't really exist. Just like paper, they are just there. Going up to one of my professors and attempting to use an excuse related to my computer such as "my computer crashed," or "my printer ran out of ink" just wasn't going to fly because computers are everwhere. There are libraries I could go to, friends houses, or even work places in the school. It really helped me to realize it's my fault, not the computers, if I wait until the last minute to do my work and something doesn't work. It's my job to get it done.

I'm pretty sure without the internet right around me I just wouldn't be able to function. I use online banking because I have no idea how to balance my checkbook. I am pretty aweful with math, and I don't care enough to keep track of it. Some people may call this lazy, but I call it safe. It's better in my opinion to have accurate numbers for the amount of money I have, rather than the wrong ones that I added wrong or forgot to take something away.

Also, I am obsessed with music. As I already wrote in a previous blog about music, it helps me get through my life, and is one of the most interesting forms of technology to me. It's crazy how they came up with the recording part of music and it transformed into now a tiny 1 inch IPOD. Technology is a rapidly growing field, and it's facination that once one new product comes out, in just a few months there will be something newer and better.
