Selecting A Topic

I caught up to technology about my sophmore year of high school, I didnt have a phone, i pod, or facebook until then and just got a computer of my own at the beginning of first semester. It never really bothered me but, most of my friends had a phone and an ipod, so i wanted one too. I never felt behind becasue of it, i just thought it would be cool to have the stuff they did. It was also nice not to have a phone because I didnt have my mom blowing my phone up, calling me and asking where i was when i didnt come home until 3 am when i was in middle school. having an ipod was a cool thing to have and it still is, but I used my first one alot and loved it, but then i realized i only used it when i was mowing the lawn, or getting ready to wrestle so more than half of a year it was never touched, and i still dont really use my ipod ever and i dont know why i even have it. I think we are influenced buy what the commercials, and the apprearance of the newest technologies, have and what can be seen. We dont really think about if we will really use them and will use it as much as we think we will. Like, when the ipad came out, I thought that it would be fun to have it and cool to play around on but then i thought, will this really do anything for me? i cant just pick this up and carryit with me while i go for a run or walk. Its to damn big and pointless, so there is where the ipod comes in and is a good thing to have but since i dont use either of them ever it doesnt really matter to me. I think that having the technology that we have is great, and we use to our advantage but could we go a day without it? I know i sure can. It gets old hearing everybody make drama and talk about whos facebook status is this and who said what to who on the phone, or in a text. I tired of hearing this shit that technology causes! i dont mind it every once and awhile, but hearing it everyday is tiring for my brain. I think that having the technology and being able to use it is great and i love it but not being up to par on everything is alright with me too, because if i dont get how to use it now, i can always learn from many people and if it is insignificant, i probably will never use it in my daily life.
