Living without Technological Devices

Every day of my life revolves around technological devices. I don't know if I would be able to survive without my cell phone, Internet, tablets, my laptop, a printer or anything that helps me make my days easier.

My children use their tablets after school until seven o'clock every day. We use the tablet as a GPS when we need to get somewhere and it’s something the whole family can use. We like it because it is fun, helpful and educational all at once.

Without my laptop I wouldn't be able to do any school work, stay in contact with my family and friends who don't live close enough to visit as frequently as I would wish. I use my
