I 'am deeply attached to my technology. Upon awakening, I reach for my white iPhone. It is white to match my present fascination with the colour white. It is dressed in a specially selected cover so when I touch it I feel the cool hard steel in my hands. It really thrills me.
Hungrily I begin reading e-mails and whatsApp messages received during the night. I feel starved for information, connection and chat. Across my room I gaze lovingly at my MacBook also white in colour, covered with its luminous purple cover bought at the iStore in Hong Kong during my December holiday in 2012.
I sometimes wonder what it is like to have old fashioned voice to voice communication. I have become so used to streaming online music and radio and watching a You Tube video whilst I WhatsApp a quick thought or message, Facebook an engaging post or tweet an article.
Technology has been my playground ever since I bought my iPhone and IPad, the place where I gain and give information. I find it satisfying as it interacts with me on a daily basis. On the other hand I'm being blamed by my partner that this technology has put me off on having good quality time with him. Hey without technology, I don't think I would find life interesting.
