technology

I use technology in my life everyday. This ranges from my electric toothbrush to my tv. I use a computer, a music player, and a cell phone. This changes my everyday life in many ways such as i wouldnt be able to call home if i hd forgotten homework if i didnt have a cell phone. Or i wouldnt be able to listen to music on the go if i didnt have my ipod. But if i had to choose which piece of technology that i could not live without and is extremely revolutionary to our society would have to be the cell phone. To imagine ten years ago cell phones were just becoming main stream and now they can fit into the palm of your hand. Though their rapid diffusion throughout society wasnt the only reason i put tit on top of my list. I also put it on top of my list because it allows people to be in reach no matter where they are and get out of a jam through a simple call whereas this would have be inconceivable almost twenty years ago. This is the summation of technology in my life. 

      These past two weeks have been very hectic to say the least. There has been a change in the American administration. Barack Obama was officially sworn in on tuesday and i doubt there was anyone in the country who wasnt watching. Though i believe all his plans can help America i dont think we will see the benefits while he is in office due to the fact that the presidential terms are incredibly short but nevertheless i am excited! MY other reflection on the last two weeks is the problems abroad. Such as the israel palestine war in which right after a cease fire was agreed upon with both countries hamas still launched rockets. That makes sense right..... Also the other problem is the fact that Russia kept most of eastern Europe freezing in one of the coldest winters they have experiences due to a small misunderstanding over money because russia has too big of an ego. Though they allowed gas to flow again i still believe they should be reprimanded for their actions. That is my take on the past two weeks. I am very interested in hearing yours.
