My Relationship with Technology

Usually, I am a lover of technology. I enjoy having information at my tips and it helps me a lot in my daily life and as a librarian. However, when technology fails me my love can turn to hate. Take this week, for example, my 3 month new laptop unexplicably broke. My proficiency with technology is not at a level where I can fix this problem, which can be very frustrating. However, I still love technology and realize that I rely on it soooo much. I rely on the internet for directions, weather, entertainment, email, and other things. The breaking of my laptop has been inconvenient, but I am lucky because I can use my roommates' computers. If I wasn't able to use my roommates computers' I would be relying on the Chicago Public Library for Internet. Thank goodness we have libraries that provide patrons with the opportunity to access technology! Today, so much essential information is available online and having a computer with Internet access is essential. I don't know what we would do if libraries were not there to help provide access to the computers and help with using that technology.
