The Computer - Part 2 Lost with out it

I have a lap top and I absolutley love it.  It is a great investment.  I love the fact that when we go places it can go with me.  I just don't know what I would do with out it.  Expecially with all of the places that now offer free wifi.  Places like coffee shops, McDonalds, malls, airports, hotels, ect... almost everywhere I go I find a business that offeres it.  It is amazing that everywhere you go you can find free internet access.  The laptop allows you to do so much. 

Yesterday I was with out my laptop.  We had to wipe it clean and start over again because of a problem with Outlook.  I like usin outlook and have not found another e-mail client that I liked for what I need it to do.  So I was with out my laptop all day. 

It was nice to be able to spend the time with my boys.  We do have a desk top so I was able to do somethings, but nothing like what I do with my Laptop.  I have it back again, and now the tedious job of re-install everything, putting everything back.  We did a back up of everything, but you still have to set up the little things, so that it is how you like it.

So one day with out my computer made me feel lost.  I felt like I had lost a limb.  I never realized how dependent on the computer I really am until it was gone.  I could not talk to my friends on plurk or twitter.  I felt like I was missing something.

But on the other hand I got to spend the days with my boys.  I did not have to check my e-mail, or tell the wait mommy has something to do.  It was nice to be able to play with my children.

But I feel better that I am back to feeling normal.  I have my computer back.  I can get things done again.  I am glad to have everything back.

Computer - Part 1 The Blessings!

The invention and evolution of computers is really amazing. You can organize you life on a computer. Keep all of your information at you finger tips. You can access information in a matter of seconds. It has made businesses more efficient, allowing them to access information with a touch of a button, instead of going through mountains and mountains of paper work. We are saving the environment because we don't have to print out everything. We can read it on the computer. We save money because we can keep in touch with people all over the world in a matter of seconds.

I really don't know how I grew up with out a computer. It just does not seem possible. I rely on the computer to organize, record events, save pictures, talk to friends. It is a great tool, that I could not live with out.

We have the internet. We can search for anything we need to, and find hundred or thousands of websites with information about that topic. You can find games, educational and ones just for fun. You can look up medical information about problems. You can keep track of your finances. The computer will do almost anything for you.

With all of the social media you can talk to people all over the world, that you would have never met any other way. You can find people who have similar interests. You can have find people to help you with anything. Talk to them instantly through social media sites such as plurk, twitter, friendfeed, just to mention a few. You can play games with them on sites like facebook. Share about your life on Myspace. You can talk to people with the same religion on 4marks.

I have learned so much though podcasts. They are wonderful because you can find one on any topic, and learn information. There are hundreds and thousands of people who have put out information on podcasts. Don't forget about blogs, they also share so much great information.

Email is a great tool. You can contact people at anytime of the day, ask questions, talk about anything. They can respond when they have time. You can keep in touch with friends that you may not be able to call. I love the fact that if I can't sleep I can talk to a friend because I am not waking them up, and they can respond when they can.

Computers have really changes my life. Being able to do so much is so much fun. I can't wait to see what comes out next!
