Technology, honestly?

So I have a super-snazzy, ultra-fast Samsung Galaxy S3. And it is brilliant. But at the minute it has decided that, between it and the network provider, they don't want me to access the internet all of the time and on every application.

This is somewhat frustrating and I would love to know why it has decided to do this to me. As I type this post, I am waiting for the YouTube app to load up. I will let you know when it does.

I spent about 20 minutes on the phone to India while me tea went cold, asking them what on earth was going on. They had no idea, I have no idea. I have tried turning it off and on again several times, but to no avail. 

This makes me question the trust we place in technology. I mean just this morning I was uploading a day's worth of video recording onto it to upload it to YouTube, and now it is in tatters as I can't actually get the stuff on to YouTube as my phone won't let me. We basically run our lives by technology. I know my uncle has a tablet which acts as his diary for work and home, his whole life is stored on there. As this tablet ages, I can't help but look at it in fear of it crashing any day soon, and my Uncle left in a massive whole of confusion and chaos as he can't remember where or when he is supposed to do anything.

And along side this, I have spent the whole day today making signs out of wood. I here you ask, what is the significance in this dull and meaningless piece of knowledge of your life Tom? Well I did not use a single piece of technology to do it. I used wood, a saw, some paint, a book to use the words from to write on said signs, varnish and an incredibly useful sister to make me mny cups of tea. Yes you can argue that there was technology used to get all of those things to that point, hell all of them were probably paid for using a card. But it is the point that so much of our lives are based around technology nowadays, that we never actually get out and do anything.

We are too concerned about reading and writing frivilous little blogs in the hope we make somebody smile or change somebody's life our make a fe extra quid off of adsense, without thinking about what is important in life. So from now on I am going to try and do something technological and something non-technological each day. And I am going to keep you up-to-date with how that goes.

And also my phone has finally come back to tell me that there is a problem with the network and I can't upload that video. Point well and truly proven.
