Technological Realization
After being immersed in every type of technology that I could get my hands on I realized the impact of these devices on my life. I realized that with the use of these "wonders" I was missing out on what life is really about. Coupled with the realization of the impact of mass media on individual consciousness I have since tried to eliminate my use and possession of most the gadgets that I used to obsess over. I have lost appreciation over what man can make and find wonder in this beautiful world.
