Technology FAIL!!!!

Today I was reminded why people, including myself, should never get too attached to the devices that they carry with them. My phone, the one thing that I carry always if not in my bag in my hand shut off on me, and refused to turn back on....I spent the better half of this morning going from one AT&T to another, just to be told that I have to spend twice as much to get either the same phone or better. I was upset, angry not just at the  fact that I had to spend money to get a working phone, but that my information was lost...my dates, appointments, my PICTURES!!!! Now, after feeling mad, and just completely unsatisfied with the service I went to get my coffee, at least that was in my control, and I realized I was also feeling a sense of hopelessness. I began to think why, why was this feeling taking over me, could it be because I have to start from scratch, or may be because I payed money for a phone that I didn't want and can in no way help me stayed connected with the people that mattered the most. 
As I sit and write this on the train ride home I just think of where I can keep my information. May be in an email account...noooooooo that can be hacked.....ohhhh may be in my lap top, noooooo cause that can also be  stolen, or even breakdown. The solution Pen and Paper...it never fails, and can be kept in a place where no one will go and just take it. Now I have to work twice as hard to get back the dates, info and numbers back...because even though all my numbers should have been saved...they WEREN'T!!!! I lost even your number, yes...YOUR #!!!!
I think back to when I didn't have a phone for three months, 3 MONTHS!! During that time I never got this sense of hopelessness, or felt angry. I remember it being glorious, no one found me, I went anywhere and no one knew...I just did what I wanted and that was it. Looking back at today I think being disconnected from the Social Media Links that I could have just touch with a button before was upsetting....I think that was a big factor today. I just see that I have gotten so caught up with all the games, and social links that I didn't realize how often I look at these things. 
To end this thought, writing about my feelings definitely makes me feel better but I know that later on this week I am going to have spend money in order to have a device to fulfill my needs. I just cant believe that I felt the way I felt, and that this happened. Consider this a lesson learned!
