I added a picture to my banner image for this page. I know that it is slightly different to the others on this website so I will try to fix that up soon.

A few weeks ago when I was looking for a picture to put on this website I found an image of an old blue typewriter. I decided to take a photo of my new laptop while the typewriter image was visible. I did this in order to juxtapose the two pieces of technology as I believe they represent my conflicting opinions of technology.

I own a reasonable amount of technology with a laptop, iPod touch and a cheap qwerty phone being the main pieces I use. I usually enjoy the convenience of technology even though it annoys me (as stated in other blog posts) but I could live without it too. My argument against people who complain about "the youth of today" relying too much on technology is that we are only using the technology that is available to us, just like previous generations have done and future generations will continue to do. It is one of my most simple structured arguments, but it's true. The only reason my parents and grandparents didn't have a mobile phone when they were teenagers is because they didn't exist.
