No scenario could be conceived that would shadow over my experience without technology as being the worst thing ever. Only the most atrocious occurrence happened to me the other day; a virus caused my phone to not accept my charger. I have never felt closer to my relatives in the holocaust, whom had to hand all their gold to the nazis, than I did when I had to return my GalaxyS Epic to the blue shirted employee at Best Buy; the drive home never made me feel more segregated from everything. I was passing other people chatting on their phones in their cars and on the streets, I couldn't help but notice the ecology and activity around me-it was everywhere. I was being ostracized. I got home and finished all my homework in like 20 minutes because I had no cell phone to entertain me; upon completion of all my scholastic and chore related duties I found myself bored out of my mind. After taking a nap and mastering the piano-along with juggling and salsa dancing-I was bored out of my mind. My mind was racing just trying to conjure up every current event and every tweet that was happening without my participation; so many people out there were trying to contact my cell phone, not knowing that was in the hands of some faceless employee in the huge network of Samsung repair sites. I was so far behind the rest of the world that this point that I knew It would take me weeks to squeeze back into the social norm. I finally received my recovering baby 2 days afterwards, but sadly I am still not the same person than I was before this catastrophe ensued.
The earlier anecdote is a brief summary of the day that my once beloved technology left me a martyr.
This is how technology has hurt/inconvenienced me.
true story..The end
