i use technology in my everyday life.
i have a computer at home and i also have a digital camera and a cell phone.
i text 24 hours a day.. i don't think i could live without my cell phone or my camera because without them i think i'll loose out on alot of things like life..
but i couldn't live without the internet either because i have to get on myspace at least twice a week in order to survive lol. I use my camera for all our senior activities so i could have good memories.
