I use technology all the time. Technology is vital in my everyday life, and I don't even think about it anymore. This wednesday I woke up and found out that my power was gone. My whole building had no electricity, and I had no power the whole day. I had planned to use my computer to figure out where my classes were going to be and I had to charge my phone. This was now not impossible, and I felt so helpless.
I startet to think about how much of my life that depends on technology, and I actually got kind of scared. I've just moved to Australia from Norway, and I know that I would never have gone so far away if I hadn't been able to communicate with my family and friends back home through all the new technology. My mobile phone, e-mail, facebook and skype makes my life so much easier, and I can be updated whenever something happens back home. I'm so used to having the best technology available at all times, that I even get annoyed when my australian internet is slower than the network we have in Norway. I don't even want to find out how my everyday life would have been without all the new communication technology.
