Tied to Technology

Everyday I am surrounded by technology. There are wires and cables constantly at my feet and I am surprised at how quickly I have become accustomed to these foreign objects with which I live. When I wake up every morning the first image I see are my computer wires tangled on the floor like snakes. It is not often that I think about the physical and emotional ties I have to my computer, ipod, digital camera... , but I could not imagine getting along one day without using them for efficiency or having them constantly in my presence. These foreign objects are either attached to my waist, my arm, my back, or by wires to my ears for significant amounts of time almost every day and that makes me wonder whether or not they are becoming part of my being. As technological advancements continue to take over my personal space, and my time, they will most likely eventually become a part of my "self".
