I'm a Little Big Techno

October 7, 2008.

I spend a good amount of time on my computer in my office or at my studio at home.  I am not so sure I could function without my email or the Internets (heh heh you know what I mean?) that I use daily, okay….hourly...or more like checking email every five or um two minutes (yes I am checking as I write this).

I am always blown away when I meet someone that either does not utilize their computer.  I then find myself talking real slow when I interact with them.  Whether it be the checking files from home with GoToMyPC, checking emails at the park with my blackberry, shipping labels done on line, my digital camera, Twitter (follow me k?), voice mail, Photoshop, writing this blog, Facebook (okay snuck that in, not really for work), Linked In, really need I go on?

If you are not willing to embrace your inner-techno-nerd I say, "Shame on You!"  You want to just sit in your studio and hand paint every product you ship out?  Maybe take orders off your fax machine? Really? Hmmmm, doth protest too much no?

Life without my Blackberry... never... its impossible.

[Dave Chapman]

I don't love my blackberry but it is an essential part of my day - however it also has its down side.

I was at a conference (for lovely marketing peoples like myself) and I needed the toilet.

Whilst standing at the urinal, the bloke next to me was talking on his bluetooth handset, whilst sending an email from his blackberry.

Did he look important? Yes

Did he wash his hands? Yes

Did I refuse to shake his hand at the seminar? Most Definately

Did I tell everyone else in the middle of the seminar? Without Question!

That explains how technology is merging into our lives and its gonna be more of it. We are always connected and our needs and applications are also increasing. It helps when you can make things work for you like this.

While technology can be helpful, using it too much can be counter productive. For instance, checking your e-mail more than a couple times a day wastes a lot of time. It is easy to get caught up with technology and lose the things that really make the progress.

Technology has really come a long way hasn't it ? I know exactly what you mean about checking email, though I have resisted the temptation to check for new email messages while I've been writing this comment at least lol.

I believe positive reinforcement and follow through work the best.
Spanking, hitting, and yelling have not proven to be effective
discipline methods.

Intel believes its customers would be willing to have a chip implanted in their brains so they could operate computers without the need for a keyboard or mouse using thoughts alone. The implant could also be used to operate devices such as cell phones, TVs and DVDs.

I love the beach vacation! We enjoyed the sun, sand and sea. And better yet, when we do it together with the people we want. The scenic beauty that offers the beach, full of energy allows us to continue with daily tasks

Recommend surgery for those people who do not like how they look and can change its look and live a better life ...

A good business provides stability to the home and family. To have a good business is necessary to work very hard, with great effort and sacrifice, but the results will always be very good

Yes it is right same thing is happen with me.
now a days internet become a part of our life. without internet you could not walk with growing world. So checking email is very common activity and now a days i-phone is also become popular. This is good activity
for your normal life. but if you want real peace and harmony then obviously you should not addict to the internet or i phone whatever electronic devices get popular now and in the future.

Thanks for sharing about your regular activity.

I am just like you...I use the computer more often than I drink water...and when I see people that don't know how to use a basic computer's functions I'm amazed...and I'm not talking about old people here. People about my age.

[supra shoes]

Agree with your point of view

yeah...it is really, really, difficult to exist without email and internet. We are sooo dependent on it these days!

Gadgets are cool however, they tend to occupy the most of our time these days, so that we end up with no free time. Gadgets are very useful but also a big stress contributor. I do have lots of gadgets, however I try to follow some strong rules:
- all my gadgets are turned off during night time.
- they stay in the locker-room while I'm at the gym or taking massage sessions
- they stay away from me while I'm eating.

This helps me to have time for myself and detach from the every day stress. Else I would end up like many other and stay behind a computer all day and have thoughts about how to lose weight!

Internet has become part of everyday life, I'm pretty sure my life would be boring if I don't have access to internet even for a day. I can relate to what you're saying here, you're not alone :)

[children's furniture]

I don't know what I would do without my computers or the internet, for that matter.
