Top ten ways that technology has made our lives (ahem) easier.
10) Cell phones have become smaller and smaller so that you can keep them anywhere... and also lose them anywhere.
9) Cell phones also have special features now, like silent vibration and text messaging, that make it possible for any one of your aquaintances to track you down anywhere, anytime, if there's an emergency... or if there's not.
8) Cars make it possible to get to farther places faster than our pioneer ancestors, so that we can get jobs in big cities and have homes in the suburbs, because the commute is only an hour and a half, and with eight to ten hours at work, that leaves... approximately a half-hour of waking time actually at home with our families.
7) Television creates an opportunity for the entertainment geniuses of our time to do their stuff, and we have the opportunity to watch it five hours a day, seven days a week.... time during which, if you use it to practice the piano or acting or tai kwon do, you could develop some pretty phenomenal entertaining abilities yourself.
6) Farming has now become industrial, and so a much bigger number of people can be supported by a much smaller number of farmers... who employ techniques such as pest-spraying, unseasonal harvesting, and chemical preserving in order to actually be able to have the time to grow enough food to support such a large number of people.
5) The internet has made it possible to find any piece of information, anywhere... and it's so easy, even young children can use it; and do, every day.
4) With calculators, math is so much quicker and easier... in fact, they make it so quick, and so easy, that there are times when I fear I have forgotten how to do long division.
3) With a credit card, it is much easier to go shopping, because you don't have to carry all this confusing cash around, and also you can buy your groceries even in the middle of the month... all that confusing cash is so bothersome to think about.
2) With a digital camera, you can take hundreds of beautiful pictures of everything of importance in life... and the colors and image are so true to life that you hardly even feel left out seeing all of this through the camera lens.
1) A computer is an amazing thing. Life is so much more organized, quick, efficient... you can get so much done with a computer, that it's worth the hours each day of time spent figuring out how to make it work right.
