Houston do you copy

Admittedly, I don't have all the toys. I don't own a cell phone because I refuse to give up my bubble of invisibility. I don't use IM because I don't want to be bothered while I am online. But I do have a high speed internet connection and a laptop with a sweet spot for wireless hotspots.
The evils are not all bad, they let me order just about anything from anywhere in the world and investigate or research anything my mind can come up with. I can do all this without having to buckle my seat belt and drive to a store or library. Now that's a beautiful thing. It's priceless!
Any tool, evil or not, used incorrectly can be dangerous. I'll admit I have thought about checking email while engaged in conversation with someone and sometimes feel alarmingly unconnected when I am no where near a wifi wireless hotspot while I am on the road. "Houston we may have a problem" Lots of adults limit their kids internet use but the only limit I set for myself is not to surcome to the temptation of connecting to the net with an internet device while in a moving vehicle. The key word is moving because many times I have checked email while setting in my car while it was parked in a lot. " Houston I know we have a problem".
But aren't those evils largely human created and not technological created? After all we are the ones incharge, RIGHT! Technology is as much a part of oue lives as running water and electric lights. The advantages far outweigh the evils.
I am lucky enough to have all the tech goodies I wish and use them when ever I want. Maybe I'll check my email one less time each day, that will cure my technology social skills. "Houston the problem has been solved" Now where is that wireless wifi hotspot?
