Blogging

You'd think a ridiculous amount of e-mail, a "smart" phone, course management systems, multiple wikis, checking Bloglines, a Delicious account and FaceBook would be enough. None are the right format for my public pondering though. I'm in hopes this will suffice...at least until the next cool technology entices me...
So how does technology affect your life? What could you do without...really? What would cause withdrawal symptoms?
