Other than cellphones, the technology changes of the last 20 years really have not changed things that much. Yes the internet is huge and to an extent changed the way some people meet and interact, and shop, but other than that the changes aren't huge. For me, even though I only average about 70 minutes a month overall on my cell phone ( yes I know I need to get a life) it has been a game changer since it eliminates miscommunication and frustration that comes from not being able to get a hold of someone quickly. For example it would have been a godsend for me in high school to have one. There were several times where my sister would tell me in the morning she was going to pick me up from school that afternoon so I didn't have to take the bus. Then 2:30 rolls around and she's not there and I had to wonder was she just on her way and a few minutes late, or is she not coming and I need to take the bus. There were times when I waited for her and the bus left and she never showed up and I had to walk home, and other times where I ended up getting on the bus and she showed up after the bus left and was pissed at me for taking the bus.Cellphones would have eliminated that problem. I'm sure there are other examples but technology for the most part makes my life easier.
