Blog for Friday 29

I was watching myself today with all the technology that I was using. I worked most the day and still i was on my cellphone so many times. Every chance that i had gotten i found myself checking the time, or my messages, or just picking up my phone to look at it. Then i realized that i was doing it way too much and i tried not to for awhile. And let me just say that it was hard. I think that this would be true for many people. I think that some of us should try to go without the cell phone or any technology and see what its like. Doing this really made me think, and relate to Culture Jam. Realizing that i am just caught up in the technology like the book says. When i was first reading the book some of it left me saying, yeah right. And now i'm starting to realize how right the book it. Today we are so cuaght up in everything do we even realize it? Its unnatural for us to go without technology, and to spend a day with anyone with it. Spending time with family is very important to me, doing this had made me take time to think how much i'm on my phone when i'm spending time with my family. My mom constantly tells me that i would die without my phone and maybe shes right. Not that i would die but that i'm on it too much.
