Life-hacking

Technology has made our lives easier.  There's no denying that fact.  In my first two sentences I had two spelling errors and a slight dyslectic, another spelling error, moment.  But because I'm on a computer with spell check and delete keys and a mouse, I can edit my thoughts and words in a flash instead of having to start over for each mistake. Computers more than any other technology, in my opinion, have made our lives so different from those who preceded us.  And we've all heard it, how our parents, grandparents, etc. had to walk two miles to school, uphill both ways. And they didn't have computers, and some didn't have typewriters either, so you had to write everything by hand, blah blah blah.  The innovation of software and hardware that seems to be everywhere is amazing.  I didn't always have my own computer, so I remember the days of CD players and tape decks and the hassle in changing the songs until you found the one you wanted to listen to, but now, my music is stored by individual song title, artist, album or any other way I want to store it.  Talk about reorganizing my thoughts, play lists for every mood I'm in, one for workouts one for parties, one for relaxing.  Yeah, my life is a lot more gratifying than it was when I was 10 because of computers.
