Technology Penalty...

There definitely a few hindering aspects to technology. For me, carrying around my laptop all day on campus can be a penalty because of how heavy it is along with all my other books, yet I can't get work done for a lot of my classes without it. That's the other thing- when my computer crashed weeks ago, I found myself completely lost when it came to school. Between this class, where all the assignments are listed and responses posted online, and my other three classes- all writing intensive, I found myself completely helpless when it came to getting anything done. Also, my cellphone. I depend on it for everything and if it dies I may as well, too. I text and call people all day long to stay connected, from friends to family, and can't even imagine how people got along before them!

Now, to at least help myself a bit, I try and keep my assignments written out by hand, so if all else fails I can at least do what I can to get tasks done without my laptop if I need to.
