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.
