Day 7: Simple Survival.













"A picture of your most treasured item."

Apparently technology and its perks are my most treasured item.

I sat for a while thinking about what my most treasured item was. I was blank for a while. I kept thinking that there has to be something around here that that had so much value I wouldn't be able to live without it. But, no matter how long I thought about it, I knew I would be alright if I lost certain things such as jewelry or precious trinkets I've gathered while growing up. But there were a few keys things I could think of. I knew that I would die without a the pictures I've spent my life collecting. I would also die without my music library. I would loath the inability to be connected to the world. And a life without movies? Well, I'd die without that as well. So as much as I didn't want to depend on this to be my most treasured item, it's obvious I can't deny it.

It's my computer.

I have sadly become very dependent of this machine that I sit here now typing on. It contains a lifetime of memories; my pictures. A lifetime a sound; my music. There's complete access to the world and beyond with the internet and communication with others seems to be more simple. And movies? Well, I've got my favorites on here too.

So it's undeniable. My life has been documented on this new age apparatus and I'm not sure how I could live without it now.

Let's hope there's electricity after 2012.
