Taking the Good with the Bad

Technology has changed me in good and bad ways.  I’ll start with good; I love my smart phone and the ability to text my family members.  Yes it’s good to call and actually speak to them but when I just want to let them know that I was thinking of them and that I love them I give them a quick text. Being able to have Facebook on my phone is another great way to keep in contact with family that lives away.  The option of online classes was a wonderful feature of technology that has helped me go to school while having a full time job.  Probably the best thing about having internet at my fingertips is being able to look up anything that I have a question about. On the flip side however I’ve become really impatient with my computer or phone it’s not loading as fast as I expect it to.  With technology being so accessible I have the habit of picking up my phone and looking at Pinterest, Facebook, or Twitter when I have more productive things to do.  I find myself disciplining my son about not being on his Xbox or iPod and the next thing I know my husband has his nose stuck on Twitter or myself on Facebook.  That is a real slap in the face and I need to practice what I preach.
