On a simple level, I remember myself travelling 15 years back, 3 children in the car on a dirt road with the warning fuel warning light glaring at me. I was petrified, because I did not know who would have known that I took the shortcut and gotten lost (with 3 kids in the car.) Never did I ever take that risk again. Just the other day, I decided to go adventuring and saw things that I never would have discovered had I staid on the highway. Knowing I had my mobile, NRMA roadservice and GPS gave me the freedom I never believed I could have. The safenets were there which allowed me to adventure.
I must say that the iPhone has finally caught up with my "personal mental technology". By this I mean that at long last I can check all my emails, while I'm moving from on spot to another, which has made life so much easier and streamlined. Many a times previously I would go home to open the email just to become aware that I should have been somewhere two hours earlier. The amount of time and energy saved is incredible. This is the part that I love about technology.
Writing this has made me realised how little of technology I don't like, but the only frustrating part is the speed by which new technologies are taking over and overlapping and not having the knowledge as to what all these extra buttons do. The manuals are a huge heavy brick with most words written in jargon language making it difficult to even start reading the instructions. So it's great that clever companies provide expert personel to guide you through the instructions on how to use the new technology online or on the phone. I love the phone it's so much quicker.
