As I feverishly await the return of my husband (he's been overseas for five weeks) I am reminded at what I have achieved in his absence. In between caring for my seven month old baby, general housekeeping and walking the dog, I've turned to technology for company. I've registered on facebook; legally and illegally downloaded music; updated my itunes; linked my two electronic calendars (in fact synchronised my entire iphone with my laptop); downloaded images from my camera, onto said laptop; and started this very blog. Needless to say, I am technologically spent.
Perhaps it's my current exclusion from the workforce that has me craving communication. Perhaps it's me proving I can cope without my partner (who has always controlled the uploads). Either way it's been rather liberating.
Let's hope the federal government's national broadband proposal gets the green light, as if I can feel excommunicated in the inner city, god knows how the country folk are feeling...
