How Technology Works for or Against me....

Technology can be a great asset, or hindrance depending on how I use it. The kinda of technology I use on a regular basis vary from my Ipod I never leave home without to the super expensive equipment i have to use for work. At home I have a 40" tv, speaker system, dvd player, dvr, and ps3 just in my living room. I also carry my cellphone and my Ipod where ever i go. At work I use sound systems built in to the Dena'ina, Egan, and various hotels through Anchorage. I use projectors, screens, lighting, microphones and more on a very regular basis. My life is definitely partially dependent on technology, but I am not dependent on technology. But where technology hurts is, when i am trying to do work and unplug from the network and my girlfriend won't stop blowing up my phone. I also get easily distracted by shiny new toys while trying to do some homework. Also a lot of my peers and their younger siblings are losing the ability to communicate. It worries me that people are losing their communication skills and are actually afraid to talk to people.
