i lost my flash drive!

technology and me or should i say US!

 

i lost my flash drive and i felt my life was over, i didn’t just lose an electrical device i lost my whole collegiate work. everything was in that thing, research papers, essays, pictures, and even some songs. i was shocked when i started thinking about how vulnerable i was to technology. i mean, its not just some documents, it documents that can decide my future, papers i had to turn in like one for this class.

 

is this the future, a future in which we are so vulnerable to technology that it is going to control our lives. i was thinking, what is that flash drive had a paper i only had saved on that particular device, what would have happened if i had not backed up data on another device like i had. thankfully i always backup my data when ever i get the chance.

 

the reason i started thinking about this is because i didn’t have the data available right away, i had to call my brother at home to email me my data. but for a couple minutes i had nothing, no papers, no essays, no photos…nothing. i miss my flash drive.

 

it is amazing however how little attention i give to technology, nowadays, but it really controls our lives. we NEED cell phones, computers, mp3 players, and other devices which simplify our lives. i couldn’t imagine life without technology, i cant walk out of my house with out my cell and my laptop is a handy companion.
