Did You Know 2.0
One word…creepy! I have seen that video before. It is depressing and true. Granted, many more people live in India and China but the video speaks the truth. We are so dependent on technology. I know this even working for Target. If something is down we are lost for the day. It’s a strange world. I can’t imagine my life without my cell and computer. In Chuck’s class last year we did an experiment where we gave up all technology for 10 days. It was a hot mess!!! No one could go though with it!!! It is strange to think about what our children will have to play with in 10 years!

First of all, kudos to using "hot mess" in your blog! HA! I went through Chuck's media deprivation too - and it was awful. You pose an interesting question though - i cannot imagine what our kids will be asking for at Christmas when that day comes!
There is no way I could live without my technology for 1 day, let alone 10. I would feel completely lost! I can't imagine how expensive our kids' christmas presents will be!
I remember that assignment, sadly it was brutle and you are right, no one could go without their cell etc!... In 10 years I bet our kids will think getting a non-electronic christmas present is insane and crazy.
Yeah, that assignment was hellish. I'm pretty sure the first night I drank I broke it. Oops.
In regards to technology dependence, throughout history we become more acclimated to our new technologies and use them because they're more efficient.
Human beings could live without technology, but would we really want to? Who is going to take it away from us? It's a hypothetical not worth considering in my book.
It's almost embarassing the way our generation freaks out when our technology goes down. A group of my friends are in Cancun and are still facebooking everyday. That says something. We know we're screwed when college kids are sitting in their hotel rooms stalking Facebook instead of getting drunk on free tequila skinny-dipping with other college creatures.
