10. Yep, I love technology
Any new tool that makes short shrift of a task is fine by me. (Provided it is "green." and doesn't oppress others in its making. :P)

I think of my grandparents and what their daily lives consisted of. They didn't email, they wrote letters longhand, They wrung out the laundry in a manual wringer. Yuck! THey did the dishes by hand, often several times a day. They farmed using mules and harnesses.

You often didn't know of a family member was in trouble away from home, no cell phones for calls or IMs.


So. yay technology.
