It does not share the same affection for me.
It's obvious that we're living in a time when we are barraged with new tech things every day.
A new version of Windows! A new iPod! A new device to do all your homework for you!
(OK, OK. That last one doesn't exist yet. Don't sue a girl for dreaming.)
The attack of all things new and tech-y is quite annoying.
How can I ever have the time to learn everything?
By the time I get something mastered, something new comes along.
For example, I had a digital camera, and it was threatening to die on me.
I now have a nice, new camera that has me studying the user manual like it's my job or something.
Exhausting.
I have it better than some though.
I look at my grandparents trying to master their computers and cell phones and think myself fortunate for having grown up with such things.
Technology is so ingrained with everyday life.
Still, I sometimes wish I could do everything the old-fashioned way.
Is the paper-and-pencil way of doing things really so bad?
Then again, if I go into journalism, hand-writing the newspaper might make my hand cramp up after a while.
The irony is that, while I am sitting here lamenting my dependence on technology, I am using a computer. Like I said, I do like that we have what we have.
I just crave simplicity is all.
