We've already been enslaved by technology... Is this the future?

The fact that you're reading this post means that you are in some way compromised by technology! I can bet that if you're reading a blog you also do internet banking, own a cell phone, drive a car (perhaps use GPS), and communicate via a 'social network' (like facebook, myspace, or twitter). I'm also fairly certain that you rely on your digital television broadcast for entertainment. Some of us book our flights online, keep our diaries up to date, and even keep track of our social lives online... Except of course when the power goes out...

Yup, if you're anything like me there is no sense in denying that your life is ALREADY largely given over to technology that makes things easier, faster, and more orderly. However, I guess there is a fine line between using technology to help one, and giving technology more authority and merit than it should have over our lives (as this humorous 'Onion' video shows!)

Have a blessed family day! Don't switch on that computer, cell phone, mircowave oven, TV, car... Heck, just live in the Northern Suburbs of JHB, Eskom will ensure that you are completely technology free... I guess there are SOME blessings to power outages in Southern Africa! ;-)

I even have a bionic hand for a month while it fuses back together following an incident at the garden centre. Hail President Executron.
