Necessities of Technology

Really the only piece technology I consistently rely on is the computer, or to be more specific Microsoft Word. As an English-man, I don't do much other than write papers. Thus, Microsoft Word is as far as I go into the technological realm. To be honest, though, I don't even know all the ends and out of Microsoft Word. Guess you could say I'm a bit of a one-legged dog when it comes to technology--can't really stand, or walk, or crawl, and all attempts either prove futile or I find myself limping in circles. Moreover, my own inabilities are only heightened by my reliance on computers. If they fail, I fail. If they crash, my work is lost. As much as they help, society has become so reliant on all forms of technology that we become shotgunned into ignorance, uncertainty, and incapability as soon as the slightest thing goes wrong.
