Technology and my life is no further than using a computer for searching or typing and a mobile to get a name and call someone. It is basically more than I really need and makes my life easier. I do not find myself really interested in looking for how something should be fixed in the computer, and then I have to send it to someone to fix it for me. I know it is really annoying because I have to wait for hours or maybe for days until it is returned. As a result, my work will be accordingly delayed. Sometimes the problem is minor, that with a little knowledge I should have fixed it myself.
Moreover, I am a very slow typing person and know nothing about things I always hear like photo shop, making backgrounds and designing websites, even my email if I do not know that somebody sends me one related to my study, I never check it. Therefore, my account is always blocked. I always wonder when I hear or see some people, how can they sit for these very long hours facing that small monitor just for pleasure. For me, I can’t stand sitting for more than an hour unless I have to get my assignments or projects done. However, sometimes when I need some information quickly and easily, then searching the net is the best where I can get it. As a wife, a mother, and a student, it is really saves my time. For example, when I decide to cook something that is not in my cooking books, I easily search the net for the ingredients. Also another example is when I need information about something concerning my children, recently, potty training, I find it really helpful to search the net then to search my books!

I really appreciate your entry. I like your honesty.
I would like to ask you several more questions to get your perspective.
Are there ways in which you think technology does harm to individuals or to a society? Explain.
Do you have friends, colleagues, or family members who resist technology or react negatively toward it? Do you know people who are suspicious of technology?
In what ways has technology assisted you in learning something new? Describe the type of information that you learned and what type of technology was used.
What unfair advantages are available to those with more access to technology (those that have access versus those who do not)?
