So I posted a card in the mail today with a stamp and everything!!! This very basic action caused me to realise that technology has made me lazy. 
Usually Facebook warns me about upcoming birthdays so I have time to prepare an e-card for the lucky recipient. In this case however the recipient was turning three so that was not really an option. This lead me to think about the other ways technology has made my day to day life more ‘convenient’ examples such as these spring to mind. If I can’t spell a word rather than getting up to use a dictionary I Google it instead … see lazy! Skyping or MSN is the new ‘meeting’ a friend for coffee, we have a vacuum that does the work for us, lights that are voice activated, I try to make a whole conversation fit into one text rather than use the phone or even knock on my flatmates door (we have all done that!) it, rather than go out for a run in the fresh air I prefer workout with my Wii, so it isn’t all bad there is some exercising happening. So what is the point of this blog… well it seems obvious, I really cannot wait until my niece is old enough to use the internet so I can send her a virtual card!
