For some unknown reason I opened my computer this morning and all my Outlook mail was gone?? It was like it had just been installed .. no accounts, no settings ... everything just gone!!... easy fixed? well no! How often do we set up the accounts etc for our mail? hmmm not often enough. After some time trying to set it up I think I've done all the right things but it's still not working properly sigh!!
It makes me realise how much I rely on my computer and phone!! I have. I guess, embraced technology as it's come along and made it work for me but when it doesn't work ... :)
But am I to blame? Am I so helpless that I can't live without the technology?
Of course not... I actually miss my hand written diary.. I love putting pen to paper.. Stationery stores are my favorite shopping places. BUT the world expects me now to be accessible on Google, Facebook, via text, and email ... and the world expects me to answer immediately. I am expected to know where everyone is at any time, and where I'm supposed to be.. so instead of a pretty wall calendar with written entries... Google calendar, iCal are shared at work, at home .... and it goes on....
I'd like to try to create some balance between the desire I have for using a pen and paper to record things and the sense I see in using the on-line options for scheduling and communication. Hmmmmmm ... I will need to think on this one!!
