technology is almost impossible to ignore.  it is a part of our daily lives, unless we make a conscious choice to not partake.  personally, i am absolutely enthralled with technology... for all it's miraculousness and headaches.  i love my gadgets.  my ipod, my iphone, my laptop...ahhh sweet convenience.  communication has got to be the single most delightful thing about technology.  i can talk to relatives near and far-  it's all at my fingertips.  i can get my master's degree and rub elbows with a bunch of really motivated and intelligent cohorts on moodle.  i can find anything on google...anything.
