I love the fact that I type faster than I write so I can keep up with the ideas in my head unlike on paper. I hate that I sometimes feel a slave to technology and that my keystrokes far excel my cursive. I love the easy access of information and communication. I hate the feeling of loss and disconnect with a power outage or technical malfunction. I love being able to edit/find/delete/replace whole sections of my writing in an instant. I hate hating the frustration when I'm rummaging for a pen to write down an idea when I'm not at my computer.Lindie Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552507776976085841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165349633953530363.post-72882751074159679482011-10-11T07:52:39.542-07:002011-10-11T07:52:39.542-07:00Yes, the benefits of technology probably outweigh ...Yes, the benefits of technology probably outweigh the costs :) Thanks for your insights!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413131853942625061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165349633953530363.post-81591233433917717422011-10-09T10:52:55.472-07:002011-10-09T10:52:55.472-07:00Currently I am not conflicted about using the comp...Currently I am not conflicted about using the computer. The cost for me, being on a fixed income is significant. However, my computer is not only for writing and research, I keep in touch with my family on FB. Also, I confess, I do play two online games, for distraction and change of pace, of course. :0) <br /><br />I don't bar hop, I blog.<br /><br />I plan to check out the books you referenced.<br /><br />Creativity for me comes in spurts. On occasion I listen to music, dreamy romantic classic instrumentals. Ready poetry or looking at nature photographs of woodlands, mountains, beaches, oceans, and the like.<br /><br />I love my computer and would be lost without it. There may come a day I cannot afford it, I'll think about that tomorrow.<br /><br />Good post.the wild magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355836751549469688noreply@blogger.com
