Is the term 'technology' over generalized

Or is it just me? Overall I have always related the word to computer's. It's new to me that people refer to there clothes as technology. I can see the relation, but aren't we further ahead in times to generalize the word in that way? I can see it going both ways. I have been thinking a lot that words are not as meaningful now-a-days. I thought back to a time when I was a child and over hearing my mom and sister talk about 'dying' their hair. I remember thinking as my 5 or 6 year old self "Why would they be dieing their hair" as in like ,killing their hair. The confusion has scarred me for life{just joking) but I feel like throughout the years as the English vocabulary has grown, the strength, or meaningfulness of words grew less. Just another way to complex life and challenge the mind. That can be looked at as good or bad but I'm just thinking there are a lot of mixed up individuals and I think that it all stems back to the way you store the meaning of all the words you use in your head. The complexity of technology is like the complexity of our brains. I guess that's how I'll tie this up in relating this post to technology.

No technology on Sunday's...

That is a factor of the Orthodox Jewish religion. I'm not an expert about it or anything, but I did happen to see on more than one occasion group's of people of their religious affiliation on a Sunday practicing this.
My friend's whom I stayed with part of my time in Long Beach, California, filled me in with the info. I don't mean to affend anybody but the way they dressed was different. It was particularly men I seen, and children. The men wear their beards long, and a round shaped cap on their head. They stood out to me the first time I seen them which was usually in one area of Long Beach and I was curious so I asked my friend who they were. He told me Orthodox Jews and that it is against their religion to use technology on Sunday's.
So that's why there would be many of them riding their bikes, or walking during Sunday afternoon's. I wanted to hear all about it and he told me " Really! They don't use their stove's to cook, they won't watch T.V or use their computer's, they won't drive their cars or use, or do anything that has to do with technology."
I didn't have to much of an opinion about it at first , it's actually pretty respectfull when I think about it. I'm 23 and I grew up with technology as if it was a natural resource, but technolgy is definetely not.
It interested me to learn about this religious practice. To just take a break once a week and make the day all about family and living...naturally
- I'm sure there are a lot of people who would refuse.

Memory!!!

The memory a computer has is amazing.

There is so much to consider

Keeping up with technology is becoming like a sport. Just when it seems that you're aware of all the latest electronics or posibilites the health force has come up with you find out about more. Even with just models and upgrades. It's fun buying different things, but without enough money throughout the years there is definetely a big gap to now of all the things I swore I was going to get and never afforded it, but then something better in the same catagory would come out and then my aim would change. It's kina' fun. I still want a lot of those things I never got though.lol. Possibilites are never-ending!!

Career Opportunities

The ever advancing world of technology calls for different employment opportunities, that touch on so many different catagories. So I wonder if they are keeping up with training this generation.

I think of all the things that I wonder about, how it's done or being made, and then I wonder if there is already a younger generation trained to take over future positions. I mean enough to keep everything that has already been established involving technology, going. Obviously people who are interested in it further their education on it. I am just wondering about resourses
I guess.

Must have patience...

Refering to the class blog question "Are We Alone", and then trying to post my response to it made me think of this.
Sometimes I feel like my patience is being tested with the whole password deal.
I can't count and think back of how many times I was so so sure I was entering the right password over and over but then it wouldn't open the page for me and then I end up having to click the 'can't remember your password?' bar and have to create a new one. I get a little steamed up and then I laugh it off like "Is someone messing with me?"

Getting the hang of it

I bought a laptop in January 06'. I had to reboot it in March of 07' due to a virus it had got, I think I was hacked. Then this last December my adapter stopped charging it so I called Dell who I financed it from and they sent me new parts that were covered under the warranty.

So I'm up and running again, I just need to get a desk for myself so I can set up my printer to be able to print the assignments given me. I'll be able to keep up with the course much better.

Truly thinking of what technology does for me on a daily basis is more than I can explain. I feel it's a blessing to be from these times. Driving , listening to the stereo whether it be a CD or MP3 player, to come home and drink a chilled glass of juice, to sit down and be able to view all parts of the world and keep up with current events from where I used to live on the TV screen, to be able to get on the net and contact and keep in touch with old friends of mine, or to be able to shop on the computer. Technology is endless.

It has created a fast-paced society. Speaking on the teen-agers today, they've got things quick, and they get want they want faster. It takes a car, a cell-phone, and some cash. The fact you can have the internet, a camera, an MP3 player on your phone; games, pictures... possibilities seem endless.

But then again people take things for granted and forget what we as people are coming from.

I mean thinking to when I was sixteen and not realizing how far advanced in technology our world had become - you know, not considering the history of things or thinking back to generations before like my grandparents and their parents, I wasn't as great full for those things as I am now, now that I recognize the intelligence and dedication.
