A Month of Thanks, Day 12

Believe it or not, today I am actually thankful for the technology that we have in our lives.  Yes, I agree that some of it is a bit excessive, and unnecessary, but it does make life easier for the general population most of the time.  I am especially thankful for the technology that affects the medical field.  I am thankful for the technology that saves lives, diagnoses disease, and affords us all the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives.  Without many of the technological advances we enjoy today, we would not be enjoying the company of some of our family members or friends.  Also, without the magic of technology (LOL) it wouldn't be so easy to communicate with those friends and family that live farther away than we wish they did.  So, though I honestly admit that it is sometimes a glorious pain in the ass, today I am thankful for technology.
