Well, week one was really hectic. I felt a great deal of pressure to get a lot of stuff done. One thing that made it hard for me was that new people were joining and I had to wait for them to get their stuff posted before I could get what I had to do accomplished.
The technologies used weren't that difficult. I have used a "gator" before and had enough knowledge about them to get through. I havent really used an IM in years. Yes I know for some this may seem odd, but honestly my job and lifestyle don't allow me to have much computer time so it is just easier to call someone or go see them if I want to talk to them. And like cell phones, sometimes I feel IM systems just give too many people too much access to me. And like my cell phone, I don't turn it on often. My cell is probably on about 1-2 hours a day max and I treat IMs the same way. I just don't feel like "chatting" with people all day long. I have things to do with my job, family, friends, and church. Very little of it involve me on a phone or a computer.
Don't get me wrong, I love technology and think it is very useful. I just know that moderation is a good thing.
I could not agree more!!! I love technology but I also feel that there is a limit. We worry about kids playing video games or being on the computer too much, well that goes for us as well. We need to focus on doing our best without neglecting other areas of importance.
