Is on-line even a real place?
For some people being on-line is the reality they want to be in. When they are on-line the world is at their fingertips and at their control, they can be who they want to be.If they are moderators in a chat room, they are the president for life , in that room they decide who can stay and who leaves, they can lead the conversation to where they want to go.On-line is their social community, the place where they meet their cyber friends with their cyber handles. On-line is a place that cannot be touched but is a place where people can escaped to.

Technology around Me
One of the things I like about the technology is the convenience. Just look at the class I am taking, I do not have to leave my family, rent a new place, move my stuff and so on and so on. Just looking at the size of the class I am in now I think others feel the same way. Last time I took a shot at university life I was miserable, so I left. Now I leave my job at the end of the day and go home, twice a week I go to class, pretty good scenario for me. Now I pay my bills online, have my pay directly deposited into my account, find items on ebay I thought I would never see again, and several other conveniences.
Technology helps me help my sons. My five year old uses the computer to help him learn his Mi'gmaq language by using an excelerated language program, which was mainly developed by the Listuguj Mi'gmaq Education Directorate and made readily available. My two older sons use the computer almost more than the television, except while using their game consoles. But technology did not help much when I was shoveling my driveway this morning, after my snowblower broke. Technology is great, just have to be prepared to go on without it.

What do I think about technology
Technology is great. As I watch my five year old son play his Guitar Hero III , on his Wii, last year's must have gift, I see his little fingers rocking out to Kiss and realize how far and accessable technology has come since I was his age. I played with a bulky joystick with one red button, and now, wireless and motion sensitive controllers brings the gaming industry to an all time high, surpassing the movie industry in profits. Then about two weeks age I watched Prince Charles attend a conference, as a life sized hologram, its only a matter of time when this technology becomes readily available and merges with other mediums. Technology is great
