How many times during the day do we use technology in some shape or form. Cars, computers, cell phones, electricity, microwaves, ipods, treadmills, ellipticals, the list goes on and on and on. What happens when one of theses technical devices do not work? Do we get frustrated, mad at the world, swear, yell, punch something, annoyed, impatient or aggravated. Can we do anything about it? Most of us do not have the knowledge to fix it and we rely on the experts.
So we sit and wait, we get on with our lives, and live without a certain device for a day or too.
Our world has become so dependant on technology. The electricity in Park Royal this weekend shut off, half the shops had to close and businesses lost money. Customers were annoyed, employees were disappointed but what could they do. Even if they were to remain open, in our modern day society how many people could work without a cash register to know the amount of the purchases or to give exact change back. Not many – they would need a calculator!

When a device goes wrong, a computer freezes, a car doesn't start or electricity goes off, the best reaction is patience. Nothing will change the situation by getting angry, frustrated or annoyed. We must take the device back, wait for it to unfreeze or sit in candlelight reading a book instead of an email.
