Technology Dependancy

Well, it's been about a month now since my last post. Sorry! I haven't made time and whenever I thought about putting something up my mind would draw a blank.

So, nothing about photography this time...

I'm writing about most of you out there reading this blogger's words, out there in cyberspace, and you know the following is true:

• How many of you have ever left your home in a hurry, got more than 5 or even 10 minutes away, driving or walking distance, and found yourself without your cell-phone, so you turn around?...
• How many of you had a problem with your computer or the Internet and while your needs called for finding a plumber or service technician of some sort or just needed to look up an address and you couldn't locate your service in a phone book or postponed your trip because you couldn't download and print directions off the Internet?
• This one is me... I left home, after lending my navigation unit to a friend, on my way to the hospital, where my wife Carmen had given birth, and I got lost on the way. While still on my way, I receive a phone call, and even though I can drive just fine while talking, I can't seem to be reminded, maybe with a sledge hammer on my head, that I needed to turn at the last corner I just passed! Then a few days later I cannot find a Mobil, Chevron, or Shell Gas Station in the area I was driving in, because I was still without my navigation unit.

Here's something to think about... We've grown so much attached and rather dependant upon our technology gizmos and gadgets, that we are now almost like little robots running about the tasks our computers give us.

By the way, the Garmin Nuvi 660 model is a wonderful unit you can't live without... :)~
