Technology

Luddite - A person who is averse to addapting to technology.

I am a bit of a luddite. I approach technology with reservation, especially technology that claims to make it easier to stay connected with others. For example, I don't really like Facebook. It creates a false sense of intimacy and I don't think it brings any real value to relationships. (Yes, I recognize the hypocrisy of sharing this sentiment via a blog.) Skype, however, is kinda nice. I'm a fan. Last night, while in Peru, I talked to my brother in Kosovo and then my parents in the States and it didn't cost any of us a cent.

In other news, there were two earthquakes yesterday. The first one was big enough for me to jump up from my chair in anticipation of needing to run into the street. The second, a 6.6, made the walls sway for a few seconds. I'm thankful for the technology in this new building that makes it structurally sound.
