The snow came to town yesterday and brought parts of our city to a stand still, me included.
Reflecting on my day yesterday I began thinking about the various technology we use and almost take for granted.
My day began by receiving an sms text from my daughter's school to say they were open.
I then had to drive her there in my car. No need for walking.
I then came home and hoovered, didn't require a broom.
I watched my children play on a Nintendo WII.
I ordered them 2 new games on my laptop, off a website and have just been informed by an email that they have been dispatched.
We watched a DVD on the DVD player.
Later we made cakes and used an electric whisk to make the mixture, much easier than by hand.
I used the telephone to ring my sister and ascertain how much snow she had, beats smoke signals.
I used my Slow cooker to make meat balls and used my oven to bake garlic bread.
I used my dish washer to wash all the horrible dishes. Amazing invention, first invented in the Victorian era by a lady, no surprise there.
I set my alarm clock before I went to bed and my house alarm.
If you were to ask me the question, "Do I use much technology during the day". I know for a fact, before starting this blog, I would of said "no, not really"! On reflection it is quite alarming or amazing just how much technology we take for granted.
Oh! I forgot the washing machine, sure beats a bath and a mangle, oh and the tumble dryer!
Glad I am in work tomorrow, will be cheaper for a start.
That's right , we don't realise how much technology around us:))
ReplyDeleteIf you think about it most things we use these days involve some sort of technology. This post made me chuckle Ali :-)
