Technological dependency

Just yesterday, right at a point of extreme determination to get my homework done, my computer completely died. It shut down unexpectedly at 80%, and wouldn't even light up at the push of the power button. I immediately scrambled to find the nearest computer repair shop, putting  aside all my other obligations to school. But it was imperative to fix my computer though. It held everything on it for me-- a chunk of social life, musical works i had composed and, ironically,  much of the homework i needed to get done. It's just amazing how much technology is a part of each us without even truely realizing its great ties to each individual.
