I Like Technology but it Hates Me

I was the kid who wasn't into technology growing up. This is no doubt the reason for the karma that has followed me ever since with the monster of technology. As a kid I would have much rather been swinging on a swing than playing a video game or on the computer. As a matter a fact my parents made it that way I to this day can't play a video game to save my life. I've been diagnosed with a rare disease called Video Game Challenged Syndrome. This illness is most present in my attempts to play call of duty. I try not to play any more, that's how embarrassing it really is.

Also growing up computers never favored me. I was the one who was a step behind in all things computer related, or I was the kid who when in computer class in fourth grade my computer freezes up once a week. Where ever I go the spite of technology follows me. Here's a short story on how one of my phones broke. That night I was texting and I fell asleep with my phone in my bed. I had a bottle of water sitting on my nightstand. When I woe to my alarm I swiped at it knocking the water bottle on the ground spilling it all over my phone. By the time I had seen what had taken place my phone was in a pool of water and it was too late.

Although technology hates me, I love it. I have an apple computer and an iPhone. They are my sweethearts when they are being good to me, but this sparks another story. My apple computer has a short in the battery I don't know why and now she has to be plugged into a charger at all times or else she shuts down randomly.

With the great technology that I have comes many benefits but also a few risks that demand responsibility. The benefits I get from technology are I have access to the internet, email, and call at any time of day thanks to my iPhone. This comes in handy in certain situations where I need to check something or even enhance a situation with one of my nifty apps. My computer also has many benefits such as incredible speed, the lacking of trouble shooting problems, and some nifty gadgets of her own. There are risks that come with these machines though. For example you have to be careful on the internet what you look at, who you accept as a friend on facebook, and spam and pop-ups. The real danger is my phone. Texting and driving is statistically more dangerous than driving under the influence. This is why I do not text and drive, but I am in the generation of the texter and this is prevalent in our society today, and even if your not doing it it can still affect you. So if any one reads this which you probably won't cause its a day late which is dumb this should be due tonight, DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE.
