If there is one piece of technology that I enjoy and do know how to use, it is most definitely the cell phone. In the first paragraph it states how 21-year-old Brittany Bohnet often uses her phone to take pictures and send them to friends-- this is something that I partake in all the time. If something is funny, I snap a photo of it on my phone and send it to a friend. I went to the beach over winter break (yes it was cold, but I missed it!) and saw a beautiful sunset that I snapped many photos of by using my phone, and continued to make one of those pictures the background on my phone. I may not be too great with the computer, but I love the options that a phone provides.
Still towards the beginning of the article, it is stated that these technologies may be "addictive." Ok...but there are certainly many other pieces of technology that are addictiing as well. The television is probably the most "addicting" piece of technology out there. Even with the computer, we hear about people all the time that are AIM obsessed. Somewhere out there in the web world there is an actual quiz to see "how AIM addicted are you?" I think technology can be an addiction for some, but for the majority, I personally feel that it is just a curiosity. As for the further danger factor of technology, it is all about how it is used. Anything can be dangerous if used in the wrong manner-- even technology.

Okay, so I have a cell phone too, but I don't use it to take pictures - Heck I don't even think it has a picture taking capcity on it! I do however take plenty of digital photos and I love doing that. In fact I took almost 500 photos during my study abroad trip in Ireland last July! Boy, was that photo chip full! Like you, I take photos of sunsets and other nature shots. I love to put them up as the background photo on my desktop, on my laptop. These change periodically as I have so many I like. Also, my screen saver is an assortment of all the photos I have saved in my computer and that's a lot!
See ya on Tuesday!
Hey Willis, you seem to be doing great on your blog!!
