#7 Technology

Technology…..technology can simultaneously make you feel elated and deflated, awed and aghast, intelligent and stupid. It can put you in touch with people and, at the same time, keep you out of touch. It saves time and money yet it is expensive and time consuming. It is one of my greatest friends yet it is one of my worst enemies.
