Adapting To Our Changing World

Our world is changing every day and how we adapt to these changes are very important. Some of us embrace these times with open arms, anxiously awaiting the latest technology. Then there are the rest of us, who have no clue what was the latest "have to buy" gadget that came on the market. We have become so dependent on technology that although they were supposed to simplify our lives, the opposite has occurred. Everything is now at our fingertips, available 24/7. We never have to wait to access our correspondence, the news, literature. It seems the more we acquire, the more we have to have. There doesn't seem to be a time when we don't have a device in our hands. In some social situations, we are on the verge of being rude because we can't put our devices down. But what if the unconceivable occurs and all communication devices stop working for an hour, a day, a week, a month? Do we have a backup plan for the information we have stored in these devices or will our world crash upon us? Technology will continue to advance, but it is up to us as consumers to monitor whether we really "have to have" everything that comes on the market. Today, be aware of how dependent you are on the technology you own, especially your computers and phones. Begin transferring the information you have to a hard copy in case all communications stop. Part of adapting to our changing world, is creating safety plans for new scenarios that didn't exist before.

Once and awhile, it's nice to get back to a simpler way of living...
