I made an interesting observation recently when talking with my mother. We were talking about Christmas wishlists, and different ways of assessing what we want, and how 'dire a need' something is. I commented that an interesting way of looking at anything you're going to buy is whether (and how drastically) it will change my life. Note, there's no

If you haven't checked out _particles_ yet do so. I've found my camera has made me look at the things around me more artistically and changed what I pay attention to. I've found myself seeing like an artist again, something I was actually taught in Highschool but stopped doing for lack of anyway to 'get it out'.

My computer also being my prime source of music has affected my life a lot as has the wireless router my dad got at home. When ever my computer is on, which it almost always is at my desk or home so that I have tunes I am on the internet. I am fighting a bit of an internet addiction right now. I don't want to mark... so I hit refresh almost every 10 mins to see if anything has changed on my friends list/ various forums/ news/ etc...

There was a show on the Discovery Channel about how StarTrek changed the world. The one example which struck home was one episode where Data has the music of 4 composers playing simultaniously on the ship computer. Doesn't seem like much now but then you couldn't fit a song onto a harddrive practically... so Quicktime was invented because "wouldn't it be cool to be able to call up any song you wanted on a computer and have it play?'

hadn't checked out _particles_. Nifty stuff there. thank you for the heads-up.

Pretty much everything we use/pay attention to changes how we think & act in some small way. Stories like your star-trek one, though. they're the good'ns. I have to admit, my computer being a source of music sure changed my life. But then, you already knew that ;)
