Technologies I Use and How They Impact My Life

The technologies I use on a daily basis is the television, home phone, microwave, the radio and the Internet. TV has impacted by life by giving me everyday helpful informative information, so does the radio, but TV is more distracting. I guess because I have to look at it. When there is a "horrible" snow storm coming you are easily informed. Not that anyone could ACTUALLY predict the weather, but they do come pretty close. The radio helps me keep up with whats going on in everyday life and celebs lives too. Just the other day I heard on the air that MaryJ Blige is being alleged of using steroids! The radio also helps me practice my dancing skills in front of my mirror. So if I do go out I'll have a few new moves and I won't look like a fool. Well probably look like one sometimes anyways! I used to have a cell but a house phone works alright for me too. I can't carry my house phone with me but its a settle hi-tech device. I can talk for as long as I like and don't have to worry about minutes. If I want to be alone and secluded I won't be bothered because no one can get a hold of me. If I had a cell...well they'd ask, "why didn't you answer your cell?" Well cuz I didn't WANT to be bothered... Although in the reverse cells are pretty handy for emergencies. Oh, the microwave, I LOVE it! I'm not really a lazy person but its usually just me and my mom at home so if she cooks something VERY delicious before she goes to work, later I just pop it in the microwave and enjoy! It is convenient since were always on the go. I have always had this thing for baking, so you know I had that Easy Bake Oven....Little microwave baking stuff it was sweeeet! Most technologies make our life easier. But I think the the Net has impacted my life most. I could have never imagined keeping up with my old friends the way I do. I see recent pics everytime I go on my Myspace page. We can talk while were in school or at work. A few years ago seem so far away. You know those days when you mail a letter and some pics. Then you get some, then you mail back and forth. You lose track of things you say. I mean we still do mail just not so much to keep in touch with a loved one. Now just a click of a mouse and BAM!! you see your best friend, sister, or aunt.Talking to each other, gossiping, remembering. Its cool not having to worry about stamps and envelopes anymore.

You have a easy bake oven? I didn't know they made those anymore. Looks like technology works for you. Seem like you use it in every facet of your life. It is all pretty new to me still but I am getting the hang of it. Good blog!

I think the microwave is a great invention. especially when you can just warm up something your momo cooked earlier. When it comes to the news and stuff predicting weather i think thats amazing too. What would we do if we did not know how it was going to be out later or even if it was going to be dangerous out.

I agree with you when you say that if you didn't have the internet you couldn't keep in touch with your friends as much. I keep in touch with almost all of my high school friends who went off to school over myspace. It's so easy that way!
