"Everything is amazing & nobody's happy"

I think that Louis CK was very funny, and at the same time very true. We've become so dependent on technology these days that majority of us wouldn't know how to cope if everything were to just disappear. Take the blackout that happened a few years back for example. I remember when everything suddenly stopped - I was in shock. I didn't know what to do, and I remember sitting bored for about a day. But in the end, I think that the blackout really was a good thing for us. By the end of the blackout, many of us had a chance to reconnect with family and do things together with people that we wouldn't usually do. We found ways to occupy ourselves without electricity, which I think was really good. Though, I remember being overjoyed when the lights came back on.. x) Anyways, I think that we all need to take the time away from technology sometimes to truly appreciate the things we have on our hands right now. Half the things we have, our parents didn't even dream of when we were younger! And now technology is increasing faster than ever. To be completely honest, I don't know what I'd do without my cellphone, iPod, or computer. These things have become such necessities in our lives, and I think that Louis CK's video really opens our eyes to what a technological world we now live in.

Hi Cassy! ;D

So, I took the time to read your entry and I think what you're saying is really true. People these days are too dependant on technology, and true I don't know what I'd do without my cellphone.

I liked how you brought up the blackout! I completely forgot about that! I remember being so bored because the computer wasn't working anymore :( but then I got to actually play with my sister outsdie which we haven't done in a while. :p

Good entry! :)

I remember the huuuge scary black out too! Although, at the time I was much younger and less dependent on technological things like the cell phone I did not own at the time, the iPod that was like, not even invented? or popular anyways, and the DS that was not invented yet. During the days of that blackout I remember spending a lot of time with family and friends because there was basically nothing else to do! So I think that it wouldn't hurt the world for the to just turn off everything and just talk.
