Technology, can't live without it... Or can we?
Until you lose power, you don't realize how dependent upon electricity and our many technical objects we have become.
Even though I work in the IT field, I think life had become too easy, making humans lazy and put off touch with the rest of nature.
Growing up, I spent all the summer days outside, even learning camp craft to be able to track using the sun, build fires using only one match, and living of the land. When I return home from camp, I couldn't adjust to the noise and all I wanted was to be back in the woods.
I value nature and treasure my camp experiences. If I were the only human in my house, I wouldn't own a television. I would install solar panels and get a rain barrel. I'd have a garden and I'd hang my clothes outside to dry. But, could I give up my computer?
No! I believe in the good that's come from our technology. I'm struggling with what it will take to get everyone to share a cousin of our future where we use our brain power for global good.
I fear that will be the collapse of our ecosystem. I hope to be prepared, but I haven't yet started. Pray there's time...
