I am so addicted to technology. I have an electric heater that I program to heat the bathroom in the morning so I always have a warm, toasty bathroom to go to.
AS much as I am disapointed with television, I am addicted to it. I know how much more satisfieing it is to read a good book, but still, I turn on that stupid TV even when there is nothing good on. I often feel life would be so much richer (except I wouldn't have my DS) if I was born in a time before TV. BUt, I am a hopeless addict who only manages brief periods away from TV on my camping trips.
Running water, toilets? What would I do without them?
Automobiles? love the freedom they give. Hate the conjestion, suburban sprawl, and rude (downright evil) drivers the create. I might not mind living in a period before cars.
Rapp and Hip-hop music? I might be worth doing without running water to get away from this stuff. What would Abigail and Rev. Trask think of such evil sounds?
Positives of the eighteenth century. Clean air, clean water, undeveloped land.
Negatives: dirtier people, more uneducated people, rapidly disapearing unspioled land.
