Overtaken

Today I found myself sitting at the computer, perfecting my stalker skills on facebook, listening to loud music, and texting 3 people all at once.

Now, when it comes down to it, this could only mean 1 of 2 things. 1) I have incredible multi-tasking skills. OR 2) I am incredibly caught up in the technological advancements that we have at our fingertips in our world today. As much as I would love to go with the first option, I'm gonna have to pick the latter.

We live in a world that is completely overtaken by technology. We love it. We thrive on it. We live for it. What would we do with out it? How could we survive a single day without the use of an ipod? What if computers didn't exist and therefore, no facebook? *gasp* What if we didn't have phones that enabled us to surf the web at any time, any place? What if our iphones didn't get a live feed from E! news so we couldn't be in the know about the new drama of Bradgelina's marriage at the exact moment something new happened? What if (dare I say it?) texting didn't exist?!? Would our world crumble around us? Would we all fall down dead?? I hate to break it to you, but probably not. In fact maybe, just maybe we would learn to enjoy moments of silence and peace. Maybe we wouldn't waste so much time stalking so-and-so's FB profile just to see if she is really "in a relationship". Maybe we would be more social and learn that the real world is a little bigger and a lot better than cyber space. Maybe we wouldn't get so caught up in drama and gossip. And maybe, just maybe we would be forced to actually hang out with people and have a face to face conversation. I don't know, maybe...it could happen.

Since all these things do, in fact, exist, what if we all just made an effort to not get so sucked into techology? What if?
