Our Dependence On Technology
Today started beautifully. Sitting beside a window and watching the sun rise over the mountains near Beechworth in Victoria – A magical site just enjoying the simple things and being in the moment, enjoying Gods creation.
Then as we neared Melbourne we discovered that our technology was not serving us well. We had no Internet on the wireless broadband or on the phone. What’s the problem with that you ask? We were relying on them for our directions, as we don’t have a map book for Melbourne.
Oh dear! What are we to do?
Luckily Kerrie has a good sense of direction and had been there a few times before. So with her gut instincts and some well placed signs then a phone call to a friend we made it to all the places we needed to go.
Learning: we have an unhealthy dependence on technology. We did not even have a back up map in the car.
More learning: take a real map next time, just in case.
