Technology

I'll get my new laptop in 12 days. I didn't realize before how adicted I am to the internet. I've felt lost all these days without a computer at home. Always when I wake up and while sipping my coffee I read my e-mail, read the news, listen to some music, some times listen to NPR through it, etc. whenever I need something like for example to know where the hell is Farengheit 911 been showed I go straight to the net, to know what the temperature is outside my window and so on. even if I feel kind of bored and don't have anythig to do, just surf the internet reading things here and there and just killing time. Or if is no the internet I maybe play a game, or read some of my old files, treat myself to my daily dosis of porn and so on. I even had gotten a movie pass with bockbuster and was watching all those dvd's in my laptop.
Is hard for me now to think how I use to life without a computer at all. When I went to college internet wasn't around, cel phones were as expensive as one month's rent, and computers -a plain desktop- was maybe three months's rent. And to see things today: I have a cel phone with unlimited calls (therefore I don't have a home phone) and id caller, text messages and voice mail and my laptop broke down and I just bought a new one. And I'm not saying that these changes took place in 20 years or 10. I'm talking about 7 years time.

What would be happening in 7 years? Maybe I'll just have a device the size of a cel phone with everything a man can need: phone, beeper, camera, video, jukebox, computer, internet and all those service that today I don't know of but that at that time I consider as important and necessary as the same air that I'm breathing today.
