Technology AH!

I have always said that I don't like technology. I really do like it, and it helps my life in many ways. When I moved here, I decided not to buy a computer and I waited for a few months to get a cell phone. Because of the generosity of my teammates and the school, I have been able to communicate with loved ones and perform all the necessary tasks of a teacher via technology. Well, techology has once again failed me. Mother nature once again triumphs over the futile imaginations of man, the Tower of Babel crumbels and Taiwanese earthquakes shatter the optic cables lining the ocean floor, breaking my fragile illusion that China really isn't that far away from America. Alas, we are a world apart. (But I am thankful for Google, which will soon control the world, because this Blogger works).
Don't worry Mom, I'm okay, everything is the same as it was before. The earthquake (which I believe I felt) affected some of the international internet connections in China, and has put a strain on the rest of the internet...so all that to say, I don't have email or phone... I'm working on exploring alternate means of communication...
