Technology - Revisted

So, once again technology has failed me and the basics of gravity are still constant...
This past Monday as I was getting on the elevator on the 11th floor to go to my room for the night, I, with my hands full of study materials, dropped my cell phone and watched it as it bounced and proceeded to fall down the crack into the oblivion of the elevator shaft. Needless to say, gravity won and I was left with a limited connection to the world. Imaging that...just a few years ago nobody would have ever had this problem. Those phone numbers you needed most you either had memorized or kept in a hand-written, personal address book, with which you would never be without unless your house burned down and you did not have a chance to save it or you forgot/lost it somewhere…both of which have a lot less likelihood of actually occurring. So you actually had to dial a number into you phone, however with all of the scrolling required now-a-days due to lengthy cell phone contact lists, would it really take much longer? Besides, people would be a lot less dependent on technology, which could prevent many other inconveniences and problems caused by technology failures, and more independent.
Oh well, now as I re-enter numbers into my "new" phone, I am keeping a list of numbers the old fashioned way.
