Tech Crazed Me

Dear Stranger,

I am discovering a lot about myself and even though some of it scares me, there is this one issue that I just ought to share. After all, it always helps to build one’s self into a better individual right? Trust me, it works for the better. Here I am babbling [or rather on the verge of babbling] once again.

Some people may say I am insane, complicated or even dramatic, for taking this stance, and going down this road. All I do, is laugh it off, and shrug it off [haha that rhymed]. Personally, I think everyone should consider taking a break from people…and technology….once in a while.

It keeps us sane….the break, that is! In this fast-paced world of today, we always seem to be worried about work, the latest gossip [mind you, about others, yet we hate to be talked about], money, relationships [this is a maybe] and even yet more money. [Backtrack! Backtrack!!] Okay so some people [like me] like to put shopping and fun stuff between work and gossip. But we still burden ourselves with a full [or rather an overfilled] plate.

What with the advent of technology [the Internet, cell phones, and all that....], the situation keeps getting worse with no immediate hope [at least in my opinion] of getting better. And this scares the living daylights out of me [literally].

I always use myself as a typical example. I use, at one time, a laptop, a television, an iPod nano, an iPod touch, two cell phones and at least carry 3 different electronic gaming systems in my bag [I think I forgot to mention the novels and ebook reader I carry in my bag perpertually].

Some [ok well it would be total truth if I substituted "some" with "most"] people tell me I am “technology crazed” [as if I didn't know that already. Duh!] I love to use technology. I am a connoisseur of technology and I believe it makes life easier! But even I need a break from it.

The one bad habit I have acquired over the years is to stay logged in to various Internet accounts I own [even when I am nowhere near my gadgets] basically because I am the sole user and it is much easier and convenient to do so [laziness!! Yeah! Yeah!! Yeah!!!]

With the advent of wireless internet and portable devices, most people [especially multi-task pros] find it easy to live a dual life with perfect ease. Hence the need to take a break. I probably didn’t make any sense…..but I never do anyways.

Thanks for listening,
