Mine is a life without sooooo much technology, don’t get me wrong. i love the everyday ease of 2006, but i miss how things just seemed less stressful without cell phones, the blue tooth, laptops, internet, pda’s, i pod’s, hi-def tv.

I wouldn’t want to be without them now, but what i wouldn’t give just to get super excited just to play Oregon Trail during computer day at school..

I am so absolutely bored. I’m an only child, 19, I don’t have the internet, my tv only has 25 channels ( none of which are teen/young adult oriented) and I cant go out. I have to walk to the library everyday just to use the internet for about an hour ( 2 at best) a day. I hardly ever go out because…well I don’t have that opportunity. I own a computer ( Mac iBook G4) and I am wondering if there are any interesting games I could save to a jumpdrive and download on my iBook to play. I need something, Anything to do. I am tired of televison, I have books I have read 3 times over, I am so sick of iTunes!, and sometimes I just spend long periods in my room just looking and thinking/talking to myself. I have tried typing out how I feel but that gets old quickly. Sigh…Help me. None of my music is interesting anymore. I’ve become internet dependent. I don’t have a phone nore have any desire to talk on one. What should I do!? Anything can help. I feel too sheltered.

my minor child saw an ad on internet for a giveaway. “a free IBM notebook”. she responded answerng servey and clicking away. in the meatime she orders/purchses close to $300. worth of goods and services, using my debit card information. and at the end there was no “free notbook”. i have the cancelled the card since. please tell me how i can cancel these accounts and get my money refunded as i have no need or use for these items thanks

www.ted.com Nicholas Negroponte talks about how One Laptop per Child is doing, two years in. Speaking at the EG conference while the first XO laptops roll off the production line, he recaps the controversies and recommits to the goals of this far-reaching project.

One Laptop per Child: laptop.org It’s an education project, not a laptop project. Inexpensive, durable, networked laptops are important to better education everywhere in the world, empowering children and communities, and sharing access to modern skills with every child on the planet.
