Technology.

Life.

Isn't it complex? 

Sometimes I wish life were easier.  Almost as if technology never got to where it is.  There was a period over the summer where I felt like I should almost go join a commune, or an Amish group.  Needless to say I didn't, but I am absolutely envious of those who haven't gotten "sucked into the matrix", so to say.

On the other hand, I love technology.  Without it, I wouldn't love the music I love.  The music that helped me through hard times & connected me with friends all over the world via internet.  It wouldn't have given me the laughs and sense of humor I picked up from my favorite tv shows.  Without it, I wonder, would my eyes and heart truly be open?

Technology is getting too big too fast though.  When the original droid came out I paid $$$ for it because I loved the phone's features.  A few months later it was replaced with a cooler phone.  I still have the original droid, because I am not falling for that bs again.  Consumerism & Technology go hand in hand.

Edited at 6:52pm to add: Something happened today that showed me how great technology can truly be. I had a skype session with my 2 oldest online buddies.  We haven't done that in nine or ten years.  I can't wait until next time, it lit a light in my heart that I really needed to feel.
