Does Not Compute!

So, today was a pretty interesting day. I had a crazy morning of running around and then went and had a wonderful bowl of Strawberry Oatmeal. I forgot I had a meeting at work today and was 10 minutes late! Thankfully, my DON isn't too strict about being just on time! My work day was so hectic! Today was Day 1 of a 4 day stretch at work. Always fun. Well, I calmed down after work by having my Hubby cook a wonderful dinner! Then I logged onto my Facebook and played CityVille. Anyway, to get to the interesting part of my day. I work with so many people who never saw a computer in their lives and it got me thinking: What would I be doing right now if the internet had never been invented?

~Hmmmm...well, I know that when I was younger, reading and drawing were the 2 things that always calmed me down. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to do that as often as I would like anymore. Or is it just that we don't know how to make time anymore? It seems to me that the more technology moves forward, the faster people work and live their lives. Busy, busy, busy. Think Hong Kong of NYC. It is kind of sad. Sometimes we get so caught up in our days that we forget to stop and see simple beauty. I used to live for the moment where I could get alone and cuddle up with my book. I honestly think I am going to try to start making more time for those old pleasures of mine. Anyway, right now, if the internet hadn't been invented, I would probably be giving Futurama my full attention right now, or I would be reading a book, or drawing. Well, I guess that is all today. I am going to end with a quote :)

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
~Carl Sagan
