Hey there! I'm Sean and I'm 18 years old. I was born in Germany but moved to the U.S because my dad was in the Army. I currently go to Arizona Western College. I plan on majoring in Administrative Nursing and minoring in Clinical Psychology. College life is becoming difficult. Finals are approaching and projects and essays are getting piled up on me. Thankfully technology is a big part of college for me. I use it for everything. I use my laptop to type up my essays, my Ipad to get on Google when I'm not home to search something up, and my cell phone to contact people at school. I also take advantage of the computer labs to get those last minute assignments printed out. The school library computer system has become very helpful when looking for books and documentaries. Not only is technology a part of my college life, but I practically revolve around it socially too. From texting and instant messaging to video chatting, writing letters has practically become obsolete. I can't even remember the last time I wrote a letter; eight? nine years ago? I find myself on my smart phone checking every two to three minutes to see if I received a text message, a notification on Facebook, or simply because I thought I felt it vibrate as if I did receive one of these. In addition, I find myself not only on Facebook, but also on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Yahoo to see what's the latest news. I am constantly on my phone from the time I wake up, to when I go to bed; In the car, during classes and even during dinner- all day every day. 

You made a great point writing about letters, I've completely forgotten about them. Technology has changed our lifestyle, imagine what would we do if one day we are out of that technology we use everyday. It just would be crazy.
