No Technology!!?!!??!

When asked to go twenty four hours without any technology, the task seem simple, but than I realized that I check my e-mail at all times, my phone is always on, and music is always playing around me. So, I though it would be easy I was wrong. First of all my contact with people is mostly done through technology that includes using my computer and phone to contact my job, professors, friends, and so on. Second of all I was dissapointed to find out how much technology has become part of my life. Although technology makes life easier, it over simplifies in such a way that life seems pointless at times. I mean to write a letter or post card sometimes seems to have so much more meaning than to write an e-mail or send a text message, yet I find myself doing those things all the time. Appreciation for nature and human relations is lost in such a way that it prevents my generation from living life to the fullest, which incorporates all the things technology overshadows, like real emotions and worthy relationships. I mean if I write something on facebook and I don't get an immediate answer my first thinking is that I am disliked or something along those lines. Third of all, life seems easier without technology but accomplishable.
