Week 1 Blog 2 - free write

I have decided that the blogs in which we get to pick the topics that we write about, for me are going to be some of the topics or discussions that go through my head everyday.  Such as when you are walking to class alone and all you can do it think about your life or at night before you fall asleep and you lay in your bed wide awake thinking of the things in your life that you can usually escape thinking about any other time of the day.

Now I will still not yet share my personal self and some of my most personal thoughts to random people that read this blog, but I can share some of the random thought that do go through me head.

My thought today was inspired by, surprisingly, one of my classes that I sat through today.  This is an IT class and since it was "Syllabus day" as we call it, we discussed how technology is growing in this day and how it affects our world.

Now normally I am good at listening to lectures, but they do not go much further than the classroom, unless I am studying.  This particular lecture must have gotten my attention, because as I was walking back to the place where I live, away from class, I was thinking about how much technology is apart of my life.

I chose for it not to be as much a part of my life as most people though.  For instance, I refuse to get email on my cell phone, because there are those times when I just want a break from the would, when the world does not have to know where I am.  I check my email everyday and I am pretty prompt in answering email most of the time, but to get them every second of my life is to much for me.

I am the kind of person where I do not like to be available all the time.  I like to have time to myself and chose when I am in the mood to deal with life itself. 

That being said, I have no idea how my mom survived without a cell phone when she was my age.  I guess it is because she never knew what she was missing.  I feel so safe with mine though, like I can connect with anyone that I want to, and I also like that feeling.  I have been known for not charging my battery all the time, but that is okay with me, because if you know me well you know where you can reach me when my phone is turned off.  And if I need to get ahold of you I know your number by heart.

I guess what I am trying to say is that technology is alot of what you have grown up with and what you are use too.  I am use to having a cell phone with me everywhere, but my kids might be use to getting email every second of the day, a thing that I am not comfortable with.
