"End"

I always knew I would have difficulties, if I was not able to use communicative technology on a daily basis. I did survive the past twenty-four hours without the radio, cell phone, TV, and the Internet. I am, however, upset I missed my favorite TV shows and had to have my mother tape them for me, so know I have to wait until this weekend to watch them. I never really listen to the radio, unless I am in driving. Therefore, I did not have much difficulty not listening to it, because I do not drive often, since I live on campus. My cell phone, obviously, was very difficult to go a whole twenty-four hours without using it. I do have to admit I had to use it once to get a hold of my mother, but other than the one incident I did not use my cell phone. Not using the Internet was only difficult, because I had to use my school email to get in contact with my advisor, in order to make an appointment about summer class. Other than my school email, it was not very difficult to keep from using my other email account, myspace, and facebook. I do not use them very often anyways, because they are really just to keep in touch with my friends at other colleges. I have no idea how individuals went all day without being in contact with their family or friends through a phone call or text messaging. I do not know how individuals use to meet up for lunch or find one another at a mall, in order to have a day out of the house or away from work without the use of cell phones. I also do not know how individuals kept in touch with their friends from high school and college as they graduated without sources such as email or facebook. It had to have been difficult to meet with teachers or for teachers to get in touch with their students without email or even the Internet. The TV is one of the forms of entertainment I use as a way to relax after hours of homework, because I love watching my favorite TV shows. I do not know how people entertained themselves without TV. Even though I love to talk, I do not like to talk to my mom and dad as often as I probably would have to, in order to keep from being bored. If I had to live without the Internet, a cell phone, and a TV, I do not know what I would do with my free time or how I would keep in contact with my family and friends. It would affect the way I live my life very much so, and I do not think I could live in the state. I do, however, believe if I were to grow up not knowing about cell phones, TVs, and the Internet, I would not have difficulties adjusting to the state. It greatly effects all of our lives in today's society; it does, however, effect our generation more than the past generations.
