The Advancement of Technology

I believe that most of us who are living in this 21st Century are very dependent on technology. It has already invaded into our lives, whether we like it or not. Even this blog entry that you are reading now, is the work of technology.

Can you all still remember how do you keep contact with your friends from your primary school when internet and emails are not so common among students of our time? Can you all still remember the letter sets and stamps that you all have? I still remember the excitement of receiving the letters/cards physically from my friends. Do you have the same feelings too? Now, our friends can receive our "letter" with just a click on the mouse. I don't know whether to call it "letter" or not.... as it has become shorter and shorter. And the excitement is no longer the same.

What about the contacts of your friends? How many of us still keep our friends contact in a phone book? Can you all still rememeber the magnetic phone book that we used to have, that can be put into our wallets?

Now, most of us didn't really bothered to remember our friends' number like we did when we are still in primary school.... Surpisingly,I can still remember some of my primary school classmates number even though I have not dialled their numbers for like close to 10 yrs!! Like for e.g. 7841 ***, 7818***, 7810***. Oh, there isn't a '6' infront yet. =)
So what about now? We just need to go to the phonebook in our mobile and we have the numbers. We will be "screaming and crying" when our mobile phone get stolen or lost... if there wasn't any backup of their numbers. Count ourselves luckily if we have back them up in our computers.

These are just few examples of our lives that are changed due to the advancement of technology.... What if one day technology dies on us? Will our lives be the same again?
