Are we relying too much on technology?
Remember when you knew someone's phone number by heart? I can still remember the phone number I grew up with. Ask me what my best friend's number is now and I couldn't tell you. Dad's number? No idea. Sister's number? I'm clueless. Did you ever break your cell phone and panic because you had no idea what the numbers stored in them were? I've done that several times. Now I keep a written record and a good thing too. I dropped my phone a few months ago and luckily had my list to reprogram my new phone. What if you leave the house and forget your phone and need someone's phone number? What about all the stuff on your computer? I had a near heart attack after my computer got infected by a virus and shut it down. Luckily the repairman was able to retrieve my data. Do you think we should keep paper backups of our documents?
