Technology

Hmmmm....what to say about technology. Sometimes I love it and other times I find it a complete pain in the rear. Those times when I find it a pain are either b/c 1) It's not doing what I want it to do or 2) I don't possess the knowledge or skills to use the technology. That's one of the reasons I'm doing 23 Things. I know about RSS feeds, wikis, Web 2.0 but never use these things so I'm forcing myself to do it.
I do have Shelfari and LibraryThing accounts but rarely use them b/c Excel is so much easier! I don't have to log in to it. My favorite Web 2.0 thing is delicious; it was introduced to me by a classmate and I have tons of bookmarks! I highly recommend it to anyone who is always bookmarking sites on computers.
I'm not sure that I'll change my life by constantly using all of these "things" but at least I'll know about them in case someone asks. Of course, that's until the next big thing comes along:)
I think the downside to all these advances in technology is how time consuming it can be. I feel I never have the time to blog about my personal life, upload recent pics for family or friends, or even religiously keep up with other friends' or family's blogs. I'd rather spend time with my family, reading a book, or watching movies.
That's about all I have to say about technology!
