How silly is it that life would seem “broken” when a computer is down? In fact, my COMPUTER isn’t broken but it won’t go online. The only things missing are email and internet…and yet so many times already this a.m. I’ve come over to use it….
Paying bills: better check and see how much the government deposited into our account…oh yeah…can’t find a server.
Got a few quick minutes while the kids work on math, I can check and see if I’ve heard from anyone…oh yeah…no email.
Oh this would make a good blog entry – kids say the funniest things….oh yeah…can’t find server.
How quickly we as a society have become dependent on computers. I’m old enough to REMEMBER the first computer in our home….and it was AFTER I was married. Our very first computer was a Commodore 64. We only gave it up on our last move. This current computer I use was put together from spare parts in Don and Beth’s garage…how complacent we’ve become with things that use to be considered “awesome”. I can remember how amazing the computers were that used to take up a whole room…and now a home computer can do most of those functions and takes very little space on a desk….
I wonder what new inventions will come along while my children are growing up and what new things will be around in say 20 more years….has the growth slowed down now that we fairly well are through the “computer boom”?
If only my internet was here….I’d like to surf a few websites..look for book reviews, read an article or two…ah well…maybe tonight when Mike gets home and reconfigures the router….which reminds me that I SHOULD take a class so that I understand these machines so I can fix them when they break down. {grin}
By the way – it’s amazing how much time we spend “quickly checking emails” between courses. Amazing how much more work gets done when emails aren’t available…but that’s another topic for another day.
