Technological Advances
Technology is great. The advances in the medical field alone, in the last ten years… Okay, but this isn’t about that. In my humble opinion, technology isn’t just for making things happen faster and supposedly (often) better. Technology is fun. I am certainly one to hop on any interesting-looking technology train when it comes along. I’m not an “early adopter,” though. Usually I don’t jump on the the little push-car that gets that train started. I wait till mid-train when things are moving a little slower and the cost is a little less. Yeah, I’m not sure that metaphor works as well as I’d hoped. Recently I wrote about getting a smart phone. I dragged my housemate into the 21st century shortly thereafter, and she is still muttering about those darn kids and her lawn. But I see her internetting on the go, and I know she reads books sometimes, and we sure text a lot more now that she gave up the flip phone… And me? I’m still having fun. Since I wrote that post, I have found some more awesome apps.
