    Dec 13 2012: While some technology is a greed for a ridiculously lazy life, I believe that most technology, at this point, is a need. It may not have been a need once to use technology, but now that said technology is all around us, disconnecting ourselves seems to be laughably implausible to me. The cell phone and television are fixtures in our life now. Before "everyone" started using technology, it was possible to be an engaged, respectable member of society without engaging in the technology, but now all have Facebook and Twitter accounts. I am not suggesting, of course, that all technology is this way; some are necessary such as electricity and water transport. In sum, this is what I believe about technology.
