Thing #7: Technology

Technology!!!! Where would the world be without it? It's EVERYWHERE! It impacts every aspect of our lives. As with everything else, technology has the good and the bad that tag along, but I am choosing the focus on the GREAT thing that technology has been able to offer to me.

Imagine living thousands of miles away from your family. Unfortunately, I can rest my imagination because this is my reality. I miss my family terribly. I only saw them once in 10 years! That is a long, long, long time! The only thing I have that helps to alleviate the ache in my heart is technology. Without it, I wouldn't be able to communicate with my relatives all over the world as easily, not to mention inexpensively, as I do. Even though I am not there to celebrate birthdays and holidays with them I am invited to attend thorough a picture or a video clip.

So, thank you technologically inclined and ingenious minds, for creating computers, internet, digital cameras, cell phones, text messaging, social sites... and so many more things that keep me connect to what I love above all: MY FAMILY.

Technology can make you feel like you've got the world in the palm of your hand!
