Are you a slave to technology?

Only if I'm very lucky, or got stuck babysitting again.

When I go to my Nan's in the middle of the woods, there's no signal and no internet. I get slightly sweaty after a week, unless I keep myself busy! Mostly I have just a phone, other than computers, and tv etc. Although the Microwave goes beep, and then keeps beeping until you open the door! :mad:
You don't have to be mad to live here [UK], but it helps.

That so sounds like the opening line of a very bad novel :)

"if we have become so reliant on crap, plastic, man-made things that go "beep" in less than 50 years, are we all doomed?" Oh, cheer up. We have always been doomed anyway. Don't go blaming technology now. You've just confused with 'crap, plastic, man-made things that go "beep"' as being a cause, where it is a symptom of our human condtion: of groping at laziness dressed up as competency and convenience without really shaking off the incompetence. Man can always look at all of his finest achievements with awe and wonder, but in the end he knows that the bottom line is that he won't be able to stop raping this world until the brink of destruction is reached. "Are we there yet mommy?". "No not yet son, we'll be there when you see everyone trying to kill each other again for the third time". Wait on, doesn't man look at technology as its saviour? How dare we blaspheme against it. I better go now, the paradoxes are coming. Anyway, it's time for our medication.
And, isn't ironic that the grand prize/award for scientific achievement was named after the man who invented dynamite?
