I would like to start by writing about compliance. No, I'm not talking about standards compliance between the top two browers which I've been batteling with for some time now... I'm talking about my own personal compliance to the level of technology we've been exposed to.
Yes, there is a small programming gene in me that enjoys the art of coding, but there's is a large part of me that does not. What can I say? It's a love/hate relationship. I love creating things for other people... creating the tools for creativity. But my true passion is people themselves. As far as technology goes, my feelings still remain about the same. To me, technology is like the flash on a camera. Althoug it lets us see more, it washes out one of the beauty elements of a photo... the color and its tones.
A part of me is a traditionalist. If I was allowed to live worry-free and choose a life where money, work, and productivity were not main concerns... I would choose a simple life, one without technology. Afterall, all we need is happiness. The use of technology can sometimes strive us away or make it a more complicated path to happiness or sometimes people look for happiness within technology... attempting to fill a void that can not be filled with technology. I don't know, I feel like I'm beginning to sound a bit too open-ended and philosphical... It is what happens when I think about the role of technology in our world.
It's ironic... although I might be considered a savy tech user, implementing technology into a lot of parts in my life, I hold strongly that technology does not belong in certain aspects of life. Heh, maybe I'm just short on sleep... but whichever the case, I should get to sleep before Bill Gates and Steve Jobes come after me for my comments.
