This week's post is in response to Fast Company's Article on "What We Can't Live Without" by Robert Safian. In this article he is basically discussing things common to society now that weren't really thought of a short time ago. He brings up the compelling fact that there are many things like the digital camera, Facebook, and Twitter that a few years ago, we didn't know we needed , now we can't live without. I have to agree with this observation. Fads can come so easily. The next big thing tends to automatically become the next necessity. I was doing just fine living without a Facebook account a few years ago, now it is so relevant in my life. I check it several times a day, for meeting information, social events, and other extra cirruicular activities. Now, I don't know what I would do if it were to somehow go away. Safian brought up a good point and it made me evaluate what I really do need and what I think I need. To all of my followers, I propose a challenge. Try to go a complete 24 hours without your most needed vice, whether it be Facebook, or your favorite television show. Try and go without it simply to see if you can! You'll be amazed at what you discover. Until next time... :)
