I hooked up my white Apple key board just see if could type with it and I must say that it is much harder to use than the one I use day to day. This made me ask the question what will help me with how I use my mac? Would a new key board make me a better user? We each day get hit with the new things that sound like they make your life better and give you time. I found over the past two months that only when I put down or turn off many of the things to make my life better that I had more time. Hmm so what am I to do, I have been looking at what I use and when and where. the first thing was my cell phone, why do I need to have it on all the time? Do phones help us or do more or do we let the phone run our lives? At the end of last October I was given an iPod Touch, by a good friend. This was something that I must say I wanted, for email and the wifi. I do not have a laptop, so I jumped in and yes I use it for email. Some times I found my self using it at my desk with my mac running, why am I using it this way. Now for checking emails the iPod Touch is great, but for sending emails it takes me more time than when I use my mac, so that is something I will be working on.

Now I am not saying that technology is bad, but I for one need to remember that it will help me only if I use it in a way that is helpful. There is times we all need to turn off cell phones, iPods, and other tech that is in our lives and there are times to have it on. Do we know when the time to turn the technology on and off is, should we be asking our selves this. With all that is going in the world today maybe we need to take some time away from all the information coming in on us, if for only 5 min.

If all we see and hear all day is bad news will we know the good in our lives. Yes we are all, the whole world seeing a hard time right now, but what am I doing to change that. I many be only one person but I want things to change I must see that they can and then make a change. Maybe it is time we look to ourselves to make things better and not someone else. I for one am not giving up, I will keep writing and working to make things better for my self and others. Let us all take back our lives both from technology and from what is going on around us.
