I use some sort of technology EVERY day, my phone, my laptop, an iPod. I do take technology for granted. I mean, back in the good old day children had to play with sticks, hoops, and marbles. Now, we have everything.
I once had an iPod. Actually I have had a few, I had a black iPod, which I gave my elder sister once I got a new silver Nano. I had that quite a while, and sold it to my younger sister, as I needed some money. So I had (and still have) an iPod shuffle, but I didn’t like using it. So I got given an iPod Nano just like my silver one, but in green. However, it fell down the drain as I got out of the car at school. My iPod was awesome, I took it everywhere and it cured hours of possible boredom.
I got a laptop for Christmas 2009, and so far, it has been good to me. Even though it lets me access the internet, lets me watch DVD’s and other various things, but my laptop does not empower me.
However, my mobile phone does. I have a Blackberry Curve 8520. Before I had this phone, I had a Siemens SL75 as I broke my Sony Ericson. Imagine how I felt when I was using a terrible phone, and then the next minute I had a brand new Blackberry in my hands. I love it, ever so much. It does everything. Email, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, Word Documents, Spreadsheets, Music, Camera. I really love it. Sometimes, I think how can something so small, be able to do all those things. How does it manage to do all that?! Some days I wake up and think, ‘Oh my god, I have a blackberry!’ It truly empowers me and I cannot live without it.
What technology empowers you? Would you be able to live without it?

How I use Facebook.
I joined Facebook quite a while ago now, and as soon as I joined I felt that I had to check it frequently. I had Facebook about the same time I was thinking of deleting my Bebo profile. As it happens, I did end up deleting my Bebo profile along with the majority of my Bebo friends, who now also have Facebook. Facebook, I suppose, has become a rather large part in my life. That might be because I have a facebook application on my blackberry, so I feel obliged to go on it.
However, it could be the fact that all the other Facebookers send me posts rather a lot.
Apart from receiving messages and keeping in contact with friends, I also use Facebook to publish photos to share with my friends, to let people know what I have been up to and to see what other people have been up to also.
One thing I cannot stand on facebook is when people use all the applications under the sun and flood my homepage with them. There was a time and a place for Farmville, and its passed I’m afraid. Yes, I did use it once, but I changed the application settings so that it wouldn’t appear on everybody’s news feed.
I also make sure I don’t update my status too regularly just so that I don’t clog every one else’s news feed up. I cannot stand when people pour their hearts into their status’ every five minutes. I mean, “Rachel is upset,” is one thing, but “Rachel is upset because her pet has died and her boyfriend has dumped her” is a whole different matter! (I’ve never had a pet, and my boyfriend has not dumped me.) Then about five minutes later, another heartfelt message. I mean, imagine you have just met someone you really like, and they read your recent status’ and they are emotional, they are going to think that you are all over the place. I’m not over reacting though am I? Is it too much to ask for people to hold themselves until they are in the comfort of their own rooms with no witnesses and their diary?
Maybe this post should have been appropriately named, ‘My Pet Hates about Facebook & Facebookers’ but there is something about ‘How I use Facebook,’ so I will just have to use the pet hates ideas in another post. In the mean time, I want to know, “What are your biggest pet hates whilst using Facebook?”
