technology

I hate it!! - technology that is-- anyway, for the moment, I think I am on top of this blog thing....yes, I know pride comes before the fall and all that.......

And I often think that we, that is, the human race, would be just as content if we were still living in caves - of course , somewhere warm- Kakadu, or Broome for instance.
If we had never experienced technology , or any other modern comforts, what would we miss?.
In fact, I am tempting myself to head up there now, strewing possessions as I flee ( apart from my books, of course!)
However this being 2007, I have at last learnt to use, and quite like my mobile phone and I leave it open for business most of the time - Mind you, very rarely does it ring - and when it does it quite startles me!
It is fun, though, to be able to text a friend who is working in a dark and dingy office when the temperature is 30degrees, to report that I am in the middle of a beautiful river in my kayak!
And I have given advice to my son in the city, from half way up a mountain; and rung friends to check a meeting place/time.
So I have learnt to love my mobile phone.

And, yes, I would be quite bereft without Internet, especially email!
