I was late to school on many occasions because I had to turn back home to retrive my mobile and my laptop. Not a good excuse for being late but I can't survive a day without these items. My social life and whatever other life depends on it. I believe there are plenty out there like me. We have became so reliant on technology, we treat it as if it was drugs.
As we all know, drugs is bad & since technology to us is somewhat like a drug. Technology has its cons as well. The internet for example. With applications such as Facebook & Friendster, whereby your particular preferences - food you like, music you listen to, books you read, interests etc. are shown outrightly to the world. People can 'study' you & actually know all about you even before a first date. Because of this, technology has replaced the genuine, curious, feeling so dating a person.
On the up side, technology has proven to be useful in other ways. With the interenet, we are exposed to a plethora of unlimite knowedge! Just type -anything- in the search engine and you will get an answer within a matter of seconds. You can even try Googling yourself, amazing isn't it! There is also MSN, which is widely used to communicate to people through the computer. Be it your pen-pal or next door neighbour,it is not even a second for your message to be shown on the message screen. Thus technology exceeds time & space.
As for our mobile phones, if it actually goes flat while we're outdoors. Most of us would panic & not know how to even search for a pubic phone. We have became so reliant on this tool, we are a slave for it. It has taken away our inependence & yet, it has proven to be so helpful in times of crisis! For example, remember the time you forgot to bring your notes to school or to work, just a push of a button, your dad answers the phone & you get him to bring your notes down.
Hence this proves that technology goes beyond space & time, it has proven to be an indispensable tool in our lives.

The internet is a great invention. I know i can't live a day without the internet and i would feel so lost if i don't have my handphone with me.
Technology has made our lifes so much easier. We should embrace it...

But I like farms... and cows... and chickens... and.. and.. horses?
When they start using paper as laptops, wind as a data transfer medium and 2b pencils as stylus's with special delete functions on the other end, that's when you know technology has gone too far!
