Techno-deprivation
These past few weeks have taught me how completely spoiled I am by technology.
Proof of this:
- My phone crapped out. I could only send text messages on it when it was plugged into the wall and that was all I could do with it. I tried not to take it too hard and just deal with it one day at a time. You dont realize how much you use a cell phone until you dont have one anymore. I thought I was doing really well with it. Then today I got a new phone and activated it only to find out my service had been disconnected because my mom and brother didnt pay the bill on time. I was spitting angry. And that is when I realized that it really is JUST A PHONE. Why get so wound up over it? Oh yeah. Thats right. Im technologically dependent.
- I cant bum wireless off of my neighbors at my new apartment. Im looking at having to pay for internet and Im mad about it. Although I really shouldnt be because I havent paid for internet in over four years. Im getting what I deserve. Why does it upset me? Two words can explain this: Technology dependency. Three more enforce this frustration: I am cheap.
- I dont watch much TV, but when American Idol came on and my converter box wouldnt pick up a signal I got PISSED. Granted it was the first time in a long time I was excited about watching TV, so it was bad timing on the converter boxs part, but why should I let something that silly bring so many four letter words out of me? Damn you technology. I love you so.
- Since writing this blog, my 3 key has fallen off and my apostrophe doesnt work. Dont know why. I HATE not being grammatically correct. But do you know what I hate more? TECHNOLOGY THAT DONT WORK. Stoopid computer.
So am I to blame for allowing myself to become so jaded by my technologically centered lifestyle? Or the technology to blame for being so awesome that I just cant help but live without it? Don’t answer that. It was hypothetical.
Oh I just discovered my arrows dont work either. CRAP.

I completely understand. In my life, I’m usually already pissed off about something, so for my technology to fail me is overwhelming and disheartening. My wireless modem in my laptop is broken so I too can no longer steal internet from my neighbors, which sucks because they just set up a brand new network that works in every room of my house. Damn it all!
