How does anyone live without Technology?

I stayed overnight at my sister's house and woke up the next morning craving my coffee. One little problem, I didn't know how to use her coffee press and she was still sleeping and I didn't want to wake her up. 
Finally, after spending two hours doing my daily Internet searching, it dawned on me to do a Google search on how to use a coffee press! I found two different videos on YouTube. I love YouTube because I'm a visual learner and as much as I love to read I'd rather watch a video to learn something new.

Anyway, back to my coffee. After watching the videos I felt confident enough to use the press. The videos said to wait three minutes after pouring the hot water in to let it steep so I reached for one of my other favorite technology tools, my iPhone.  I set my iPhone alarm for three minutes, as instructed. After waiting three minutes (a very long time) I "pressed the coffee" and I just sat down to enjoy it.

How did we ever exist without technology? I know my grandmother would have loved it! She would have bought my sisters and me a cell phone so she could easily keep in touch with us and she would have loved shopping on QVC and HSN.

Do you have any "Grateful for Technology" stories to share? Add your story to the comment section at the end of this post. I'd love to hear them.
