Tech Love Unlimited

If the all the technology on the planet Earth suddenly ceased to work and no one could log onto their e-mail, check their MySpace page, charge their iPods, or get their laptops working the sceniro from every corner of the world would be a horrified scream, which would echo to the outer reaches of the universe. Guys in suits might throw themselves from the Empire State building.  

The whole tech craze isn’t limited to the usual countries that have been hubs for tech savvy individuals. 

When I visited the Philippines earlier this month I soon learned that you couldn’t do much without a cell phone. The whole country relies on text messaging. Everyone has a cell phone. Even the boy riding the cow probably had a cell phone. 

In the matter of three weeks I managed to better my text messaging skills but when I came back I had problems shifting to the U.S. standard text message setup. That was maybe the biggest culture shock I experienced.  

Back in America, the computer, cell phone, Blackberry, iPod, and every other tech-related piece you cherish like a member of your family, has become an extension of us. 

Everyone probably knows this is true but to think there could be a day where everything with any sort of electronic hook-up could go – bye-bye would be a true test of Darwinism, the survival of the fitness. 

Those who live without the ever-present technological necessities will dominant and those who cause Hell to freeze over the lose of their phone will be the first to go. I’d probably be gone by breakfast time, brunch if I’m lucky. -- Eming Piansay
