Are Computers Bad??

When I say computers I am referring to all technology. Are we their master’s or slave’s? Have we become addicted to them worst than cocaine, crack, or meth?

I spend 12 plus hours a day n front of a computer, between my day job and other projects. My wife spent over 6 hours playing WOW (World of Warcraft) on her computer. I don’t know how long our daughter was on her computer, on a Sunday afternoon.

Internet content has evolved to the stat that all we don’t really need television. Each family member just needs to have their own computer, or cell phone. Yes, I wrote cell phone. I am not in a sleepy haze from the early morning hours.

Have you taken a close look at what you cell phone can do lately. Besides telephone calls, there is text messaging, picture messaging, recorded voice, and even surfing the internet. The cell phone is evolving into a mobile computer, that may in the near future take the place of the laptop.

I thought at one time that the laptop computer would take the place of the desktop computer. I am starting to think that I was wrong. Everybody will have a powerful desktop at home and their mobile computer will be a cell phone/computer.

Enough about the progression of technology. What about our dependence on technology? What is the price we pay? Lost time together as a family? Lost time doing those things around the house, to make it look nice. Dare I write, an increase in the use of electric energy to power our computers and monitors.

I am interested in what you think. Post your ideas.
