The Importanse of Technology

Last week, I realized once again how much technology really means to a college student. For some reason, we've been getting snow, which allmost never happens in Georgia. Anyway, that was happening on Tuesday, and I really didnt feel like going to class in it. However, thanks to email, I found out that class had been canseled since my prof was sick. You see, without email, there would have been no way to tell us that. This would have a bunch of annoyed students to make a trip through the snow for nothing. However, a lot of blind people think that technology isn't necesary, and I used to be one of them.
Back in highschool, I didn't have much use for the internet. We had the occasional research paper, but I usually just got someone to look stuff up for me so I could do the assignment. However, I sooned figured out that this would not fly in college. So, I had to buckle down and learn how to use it. Now, I've opened upn a whole new world for myself. Not only have I mastered email and research, but I've been able to access other social networks such as facebook and this blog sight. I say this because I know there are a lot of blind people like me who have never had a desire to master technology. If anything, I hope this poste reaches at least one person and helps him or her realize the necesity of it before it's too late. Believe me, trying to juggle a full load of courses plus mastering the computer at the same time is something you want to avoid if at all possible.
