Dangers of Technology

I have been incorporating a USB thumb drive into my lifestyle. I thought the effects would be positive, but like all technology, it has its dark side. If it is not used wisely, pain and suffering can occur.

For example, you will probably want to attach the USB drive to your key chain. If you then plug it into your computer at work that is under your desk, you may forget about it at the end of the day because you only had a few apples for lunch and are daydreaming about the frozen pizza you are going to pop in the oven as soon as you get home. If your car key happens to have the plastic broken and you have been procrastinating going to Lowe's to get a new one, that key may be in your pocket (separate from your other keys.) In this case you may not realize where your apartment key is until you can't get in and are forced to drive back to work instead of eating that frozen pizza.

So be cautious, as this hypothetical situation could happen to anyone.
