I think we'ree getting out of hand...  Seriously.  I changed carriers a few weeks ago due to a way better price on minutes so I had to go to a different phone.  I couldn't afford to get a new phone so a friend gave me hers.  Now I'm totally grateful that she gave me a phone, but it's totally an old phone.  I had an android touch screen with Sprint and now I have a phone that I'm pretty sure doesn't make anything anymore.  I hate texting on it... it's so stone age-ish.  If I'm in the middle of texting, which takes me way longer because I'm not use to the old way of doing it, and I get another text message it will automatically through me out of the text and show me the new one... which doesn't usually suck unless I've got 10 people texting me while I'm doing one text. 

My point is: I've started to rely too much on technology.  So much so that I'm spoiled when I have to downgrade on a cell phone.  It's still a cell phone that we didn't have 10 years ago.  And I'm reminded how stupid we've gotten about technology when I see commercials for cars that will now tell you facebook status updates.  I mean, really??  Your that lazy that you can't wait till you get home to check your computer.  Even yet you can't look at your phone!?  Seriously.  Not all advances are bad or dumb. I really like the cars that have the interfaces where you can hook your mp3 player or phone and use it hands free.  That's cool and smart. 

I've always wanted a smart house.  I don't see myself in one anytime soon, but a boy can dream!  And the new cell phone options to use it as a credit card is somewhat cool.  I'm just afraid of how reliant we are getting.  The current White House administration would really like us to go paperless in the near future, but I'm very weary of that.  I just keep thinking it's gonna become one of those summer blockbuster movie plots where a hacker takes control and no one is safe. And we definitely don't have a Bruce or Sandra to look to to save us. Or I could just be over thinking things.
