technology tuesday

what technology can you not live without???

me?

email.
i remember the day we were introduced
a crisp fall day in 1992
i was a freshman in college
with an office job on campus
in the computer science dept
so they gave me an email address
i loved it
it was on a black screen
and i logged onto a main frame of some sort
no bells and whistles
but now i am wondering...
who the hell did i email?
the ladies i worked with?
sitting ten feet from me?
people barely had pc's then
and this was a full year before the university
issued a student account to all students
nonetheless...
love at first sight.
despite a few spats in our 16 year relationship
we are still going strong.

i asked hubs the same question...
his technology of choice?

indoor plumbing...
okay
self explanatory.

what technology can you not live without?

i have never thought of indoor plumbing as a "technology"...too funny!! I would have to say the computer. Almst everything I do, I do on the computer. I can't remember when I started using email liek you can remmeber...btu i know i would be lost without it now....i prefer to communicate by email at work, heck even at home sometimes, saves on yelling, "pick your mess up!" lol

PERHAPS BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A PART OF OUR LIFE, WE OVERLOOKED IT!

I CANNOT WATCH LIVE TV.
SO SPOILED!
