I was thinking today about all of the inventions that we have and depend upon. You know, like cell phones, PDAs, GPS units, computers, the internet, VCRs, DVD players, microwaves, TVs...These are the first that come to mind anyway. So I was wondering what I could live without and what I couldn't live without.
The fact that I have been without my computer for the last 4 days has something to do with my train of thought. I was down to 2 percent hard drive space and nothing was working right. So, I talked to a friend of mine who knows a lot about computers and he suggested that he could help me out if I would bring him my computer. There have been weeks when I have done nothing with my computer other than watch the slideshow screen saver, but the fact that it is gone out of my house is making me crazy! It's the fact that I CAN'T work on it, not that I NEED to work on it. I obviously have access to a computer or I wouldn't be typing this. But it's not my computer!!! Childish I know, but I can't help it. I guess I am attached to my computer. But the question is could I live without it? I think so. Well, probably, I mean without it I wouldn't be able to do stuff with my digital pictures or e-mail or blog!!!!
TV I am sure I could live without except for those times when the kids NEED to wind down and it is sooo easy to watch a video. My mom used to tell me I had it too easy because of portable DVD players and long car trips. I am here to say that if they were available when I was a child my mom would have bought one!!!
The one invention I really like though is a microwave. This seems silly because everything you do in a microwave you can do with a stove, but it's soo much easier. Especially with kids and quick easy foods and warming up leftovers. A microwave really makes my day to day life easier. I am sure I could live without it as with any invention really, but I wouldn't want to.
What couldn't you live without?

hmmmmm....I too would be lost without my computer, but also my TV! or radio! or micro!
oh I am pathetic! I want it ALL!
Stacey, if you only knew how much Dad and I love reading your stuff, you'd do nothing but write!!! Really, if you think about it, that's a very hard question. I could definitely live without a TV and a micro. But, the computer??? I sure wouldn't want to try. But I think I could! It's you and the dogs, that I couldn't live without!!!!
You are our mother's daughter in some ways!!!! It would drive me crazy, too, just knowing you didn't have it, even it you didn't want to use it!!!!!!!
Okay, this is a tough one... As you've probably guessed, I'm pretty attached to my computer, too! But, as much as I hate to admit it, I may be even more lost without my cell phone. I don't like to talk on the phone as a hobby or anything, but I HAVE to feel connected, or at least know I have the ability to feel connected, you know? Plus, I can take my cell phone with me, and my big ol' computer just sits on my desk! haha!
