Little (Technological) Things

I have been contemplating our technological age for a few weeks now in light of David and I beginning the long-distance phase of our relationship. Nobody ever looks forward to being separated from the people they care about, but I have to admit that there's a measure of frustration with how much I pouted about this. We have known from the start that this was coming, so we really had time to talk, pray, and prepare.

Here's the thing: I look at all of the technology we have, and it's crazy. I'm writing this post from my iPod, which just before this was an avenue to face-to-face chat with David. And this is in addition to cell phones, text messaging, and emails.

Whoa.

Thinking back to times when long-distance relationships looked solely to letters and infrequent phone calls to sustain them, we have it pretty easy. It makes me feel like I have no room to complain now.

Does technology ever blow your mind?
