Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Why I love technology. Yes, I must admit that on occasion I wish myself to have been born in a different era because one thing in particular attracts me to that time (the fashion in America in 1940s and 50s, the musical prestige of Austria in the 1700s, Mr. Knightleys living in every estate in England in the 1800s, and the simplicity of life in Pangaea circa 1,000,000BC) but fortunately, I live in the United States in the 21st century. These are reasons as to why I am so grateful I live when I do.

Cellular Telephones.

Yes, I am grateful for my phone. With it we can call people who live very far away, we instantly send or receive a message from someone far away or in the same room which would cause a smile, we take pictures, we listen to music, we play games, and do a whole lot more. We can even use our phones to get out of extremely awkward situations, like when you see someone you've been trying to avoid, you can simply whip out your phone and pretend like you're on an important call. Make sure that your ringer volume is on silent though, because when your phone actually rings while you are doing that, it can be pretty embarrassing. Not like I'd know or anything.

Laptops.

I can do just about anything, anywhere, if I've got my computer with me. I love it. I am grateful for computers in general, but laptops are especially great because I can take my computer with me where I go. Now, instead of furiously trying to write what my teacher is teaching us about in class, I can leisurely type everything with out getting so frustrated that I couldn't even write down the complete concept before he's moved on to something else.

Wii.

I am grateful for the Wii because it revolutionized video games. Now players can be up and active while gaming and it's great! I have a particular affinity towards Just Dance (1 and 2). Now you don't have to wait for dances to bust a move, you can publicly humiliate yourself as you are unable to follow a simple dancing avatar, in front of your friends! Love it!

Google Docs.

These have changed the face of study groups forever. Just put the study guide that your professor gave you on a google doc, invite your whole class to access and edit the link, and POOF! You've got all you need to study in one convenient place.

Grooveshark.

It has every song ever made. Okay, not really, but really, it's amazing. You make your own playlist(s) out of any song you can find. It's basically an iTunes online that has access to every library ever. Pandora does have it's perks, like introducing you to new groups and songs, but Grooveshark doesn't have any ads and there isn't a certain amount of hours you have of listening.

and then there was

Electricity.

Yeah, yeah, I know that this one seems kind of primitive compared to the others, but honestly, I could live without the others, but not without electricity for light. I basically have the worst night vision known to man. I can't see anything in the dark and I freak out every time I have to go down stairs at night. I have all the stairs in the staircases around where I live counted so that I don't have to worry about seeing them. Really, it's that bad. Light literally saves my life. I thrive on it. Oh, Mr. Edison, how I adore thee.
