Tied to technology, who me?

Technology's an interesting thing - I remember when email was an up and coming form of communication - for I have print outs of early flirtatious with my now husband. I also remember feeling pretentious and a little guarded in using my first cell phone in public.

Today I have my beloved iPhone - the "old" 3G - and conduct most of my communication, education, entertainment and organization from this little device.

But I am lamenting my even older iMac! Apparently it's not compatible with the new external backup drive Dan was determined to install in order to save all our network data. Now all my iMac data is inaccessible - and I've been without my computer for weeks.

I'm realizing just how dependent I am on all the information, images and resources I've organized on that machine.

Sometime soon (cross your fingers) I'll be getting a new computer - and wonder with each new step in technological advancement - if we really ARE better off??? And frankly, I don't look forward to learning the in's and out's of a new machine.

But - inevitable, I guess.
