Technology Runs Life?

Has our modern technology become our everything? I was blessed to not have a phone for 24 hours not by choice but in the end it has influenced me greatly. Not having a phone made me realize how dependent we(most) are on our cell phones. My friends numbers are in there, my way of communication is there, my way to tell time is there, and most of all time wasted is there. I have realized that yes cell phones are great to keep in contact with people that you can't see everyday or so often but truly we butcher that and tweak it to become our email, scheduler, internet-on-the-go and  a necessity to have. But I am blessed to have such a wonderful thing. I can keep in contact with friends far away and that is such a blessing. And if I control the phone and not let it control me, which for some random reason I feel bad not answering a phone call, our perspective about life might change. It may become more personal in the reality of life, instead of hiding behind the phone to have a conversation. It's physical interaction with conversation that leads to a closer friendship. Check your viewpoint? Where Your time is spent?
