"Today's modern calculations use of our technology's"

Ok my experience in using technology was so difficult in counting that I have come to realize we need it more then we think we do, but do we really?... Honestly I believe we have portrayed ourselves to think we need it because it is so convenient for us in today's modern world. I mean back then there was nothing we didn't depend on material things to get us through the day. Today I find myself consumed in technology. I must say that writing this essay has been more challenging than any other because being told to count your daily tech use that's like all the time use. I mean from waking up in the morning and checking your emails, status on what your day will be, wish people a day of happiness, going to your kitchen and making a cup of coffee after the use of having a shower and using the facilities, brushing your teeth, reading a newspaper which was made by today's technology, turning on the TV to see all the news about the new technology. Walking to the kitchen to make breakfast on a stove and gathering your food for prep that you collect from your refrigerator.You begin by washing your hands and food with water in the sink. Water being as warm as it is because of the boiler that warms your hot water to right temperature. You decide to go online of course today we realize how time flies so fast online you think you were in front of the screen for only 10 minutes but it was actually 40 minutes. You email, IM, post, play games, sync your music, play your music while doing all this. You then shut down because you realize most of your time has been in here so you then you go, sit in the living room, and if you're like me who has a blackberry with internet (Well not anymore :P) you find yourself logged in here through your phone and multitaskin your small little devices by texting, speaker talking to family or friends. Mean while they are doing the same thing on the other end.... Same concept different machine... Were all like robots doing the same thing. It's become normal to us and so convenient. As your sitting there, your convo becomes ehhh! So, you complete your call, stop what you're doing, then decide to watch a movie which is what is being used these days, DVD players... Or now and days we all have cable with many options to watch different programs. When back then there were only 3 channels. Today the cable company has become rich to our needs of wanting more channels, better programs, because we want to be comfortable, that we demand it, and order it. Just like every technology out there we demand it no matter how much the cost and the price you pay that puts us in debt we still find a way to purchase our bad habits we have grown accustom to.... Hello Comcast didn't just come up with the word on demand for their sake it's because of our demands! Anyway so... days become nights which all the lights come on, and we of course by then have made lunch, dinner, washed our dishes... (In my case my kids are lazy they use the dishwasher and I keep telling them not to because it's does not wash the dishes right! It only makes them dirtier! But oh well while I'm at school they think what she doesn't know won't hurt...) So we then turn off all our technology's,to end the days with a shower, brush our teeth, and sleep the night away. But, we still use technology in the nights. We all now and days have central air,nightlights, wake up for a cup of cool water or warm up some tea, use the facilities', and check the time. What would we do if we didn't have any of these things? Well as to a reply I told a classmate of mine from what it is to be the same question and assignment we both have. Hers was more of (and don't quote me because not sure on exact wording but was something like this...) What would we do without toilets, vacuums, fans, air conditioners, blow dryers, cooking, phones, TV, and lights. ....... My exact response was which I edit it a bit: We would take a crap in sink holes, use unpaired socks for toilet paper,TV we would play charades, Vacuum we would rip off the carpets and have regular floors to clean on all fours like they use to, stove learn to start a fire outside with twigs and make a sink hole on the ground where we haven't yet crapped at and use for oven, lights use torches that we would hand make, fans tell each other to blow on each other's faces lol, air conditioner forget that we would tell each other to blow harder lol, water then we would relocate to where there's a nearby lake, phones lol probably make your hand into a fist and take out your thumb and pinky and talk into it lol and tell who ever is with you to go along with you lol or get two cans and use a string to each end and you talk in one can and the other idiot talks in the other lmao, blow dryer well breath air is full of hot air as it is lol, yeah we can do it again but would we want to NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Finally completing this essay fwww allows me to think I got this out of the way and seeing as to I just typed this in my computer I need to print it out from my printer. Why didn't I use pen or pencil like they used back in the day.... I don't know I just did because I was in front of my computer already face booking this... I wanted to share the things that we all experience in today's world and everyone realizing that we are lucky to be living the way we are today because tomorrow it can be taken away. So be blessed and grateful for what we strive to learn in these things called technology or one day we will find ourselves in the same life from the movie "The book of ELI"... BTW I used more than one thousand technology uses since the assignment started... From the new module beginning and instructed by instructor I logged in what I could. As of Saturday morning I had already had done 469 text messages, 24 emails, two loads of laundry, drove my truck 6 times, made 59 calls, had many cups of coffee, and stopped counting by then. Now add to that another day which is today Sunday. By tomorrow it being turned in, I think it will be more than 2 thousand, maybe even three. (Having to fix my browser in my blackberry and not being able to accomplish repair took a lot of technical support help. What good did that do? There is still no connection) But blessed to have a phone, text, and everything else in my life today! Mainly my little lazy's who are the new inventors of tomorrow's new technology!
