I would like to apologize to all the people who try to communicate with me through technology - technology which is as simple as a phone, Face Book, email, and Skype.
Why am I apologizing for this you ask? I bet most of you think of me as someone who is texting and on Face Book all the time. Well, you are wrong because 80% of the time I don't know where my phone is, I text my mom most of the time, and my friends for homework problems I forgot to write down in class. I don't have an email, if I need to send something I use my parents, and Face Book I usually go on once every two weeks. I feel bad because people don't understand how independent I am from technology. I don't like using it. So, don't think I'm not replying because i don't like you, I DO!
I think that people waste their lives away being so focused on technology. I mean honestly, how many hours have you wasted staring at your computer monitor, or ignoring everything around you because you're staring at your phone waiting for the next text message to arrive. I personally don't enjoy that. Life is too short and exciting to waste it away staring at computer, phone, and television screens. Sometimes it's hard to hang out with people because they get distracted so easily in another conversation on their phone. Really? Why do need to be in another conversation or talk to that person simultaneously while talking to me? (and no, I was not being boring... I know when I am boring someone.)
Is it wrong for me to not use technology like society uses it today? I honestly have no idea what the answer to that is, but I'm not going to change my habits. I like doing my own thing and not having to be attached to what others are doing at all times. If it's wrong, than I don't know what to say to you.
