Blog post # 13

When I was a child I carried a basketball every where I went,including church. Now, I take my lap top every where. I'll admit, I am addicted to electronics. My life revolves around my cell phone, my television, my lap top, and other devices as such. In essence, this blog post is the hardest blog that I've done so far. Essentially, I thought being without electronics was impossible to do with out afflicting myself and others. The first problem that I ran into within the twenty four hours that we were given, was with my cellular phone device. Several people, my mother, father, cousins, and friends left voice messages and wondered why wasn't I returning calls, or text.In fact, it cause so much tension that I had to literally explain our assignment this week, to each one of them.The second difficulty within the twenty four hour time frame that was given was with my television. Over time I developed a pattern of sleeping with the television on. However, for this electronic free exercise I sacrificed my grade for my sleep...so to speak. Lastly, I experienced difficulty with not being able to use my laptop and ipad freely. I maintain organization with my calendar via MacBook Air. I play music on pandora for relaxation, I use apps for exercise, and I use twitter  and facebook  for socializing (entertainment) purposes. While traveling I also love using GPS because it really saves time and gas. Without electronics, I'm sure I would be able to adapt; however, It would be significantly challenging.Overall, I learned that I depend on technology (electric devices) excessively to help navigate through this complex world. Additionally, electronics is apart of my everyday life;hence, this is the main reason why technology will be a vital asset in my classroom. In conclusion, the exercise is helpful because it is a operation that physically show you how much technology is essentially apart of our everyday life.
