Perhaps I should have added my own commentary and personal experience with technology and cyber endeavors as a starting point for continuing discussion.
I mean, I don't even have a full five years with being "connected" to the internet, but that's only one side of me. Ever since grade school, I've been in computer typing classes, learning anything from better finger-placement technique, storybook creation, or blasting aliens away with my superior mathematical logic.
I'm sure a fair majority of Americans today, perhaps above 75%, have had a period in their lifetime in which they participated and played a video game.
The possibilites and stemming points are endless.
(I should have thought of this before and perhaps, instead, debuted this topic in 'General Discussion'. Let's see how it progresses regardless.)
What do you rely on technology for: solely applicable (such as light switches, occasional internet dalliances, a cellphone, and kitchen/bath wares) or are you more connected than you previously thought? how much more digital technology have you invested in since a decade ago? On average, how much time would you estimate you invest on being at a computer or online? (I have more queries, but the above should suffice for now.)
