I had an interesting discussing today with one of my professors before class. I was having trouble with the wireless internet in my apartment, so I couldn't get the email I was trying to send him to go through. We were discussing how dependent we are on technology and the panic that ensues if we cannot be connected, even for a little while.
Then, I mentioned how frustrating it was for me in undergrad when I would return from the high-speed dorms to my dial-up home over breaks. Yes, my parents still have dial-up internet access. My professor was blown away. He didn't know that dial-up even existed anymore.
When I carelessly send off an Adobe CS4 document to my boss, she has to remind me that we only have CS3 in the office and cannot open my file. I guess I'm a technology snob.
