"Technology makes it possible for people to gain control over everything, except over technology" - Tudor
I may have not had to walk up a hill both ways to school, but I was born B.G. Yes that is right kids, Before Google there was life. There was a time when online was just the thick book on my parents bookshelf. There was a time even when online was called the World Wide Web. Oh and lets no forget the days of the portable CD player. Forget strapping on an iPod to your arm, this portable player was large enough to hold in your hand and encouraged no rushing due to it skipping if you tried to rush.
Now in 2010 there are 31 billion searches on Google a month. I traded in my Pager for a Zack Morris phone and now a Smart Phone that truly runs my life. What about facebook, would you shout out loud in a band what you are doing...."Kausha Bakk is wondering how many time Favre can retire". Yet we find ourselves shouting online daily and wondering peeking into the lives of others. We choose everything from our hair dresser, to popular fads, to where we are going for dinner off the word of posts on Facebook.
What is next? I love how technology has changed my life. Yet I wonder where social media will go...
