Life in the Network

It has just been within the past 3 or 4 years that my communication has greatly shifted to becoming more technologically inclined. I now can not go ANYWHERE without my cell phone and I check my e-mail about 20 times a day. I do know that I take part blame of the dependancy however, I feel as though these past few years our world has become more and more dependent as well. I am sitting in a room right now with four other people. and we are all on our computers. There will be times where I will be sitting in the same room as someone and talk to them on AOL instead of opening my mouth to talk to them. This is extreem, I know, but it does happen. This goes along with text messages as well. My plan with my phone company now has more text messages than I do minutes because I feel I text more because I can get straight to the point.
Communication as a whole has spread more toward eletronics, with the new cell phones that are coming out with internet, a camera, an iPod and a phone all in one. People can track you even in the bathroom. My mom who has had a cell phone for over 5 years now, is still electronically incapable to do anything. She is now learning her ring so when I call her she can answer on the first call. She is a very normal mother who teaches 1st grade but because all of this technology is "past" her time, she is completely clueless. I can only imagine when I am her age what will make me clueless.
