The Evolution of The Computer Era

Hi everybody. Remember ten years ago when technology was pretty much moving along at a slower pace then it is now? Remember when having a cell phone was deemed a luxury and not a necessity? I remember those days quite well and in many ways the lower levels of technology actually were better for us. Ten years ago, computers were not as critical to our everyday existence and this allowed for families to spend more time together. Today, almost everything you do requires a computer. At present, you can do almost anything you want from the comfort of your easy chair. In this day and age, even your social life revolves around your PC via Facebook and Google Plus. If I had a choice, I would turn the clocks back to the days of phone booths and good old-fashioned hand written letters. As a whole, we have lost some of our individuality with the computer age even tough it does make everyday chores easier.
