And now for something totally different

To say that I love video games, computers, and technology is a pretty huge understatement, I honesty cannot imagine living without them. Yet, there is always one thought that never escapes me about these things: they are all luxury items. And because they are luxury items, it should considered a privilege to be able to own and use things these on a daily basis, if ever at all. However, I feel that modern society has moved to a point where many, if not most, people in the developed world completely take these things for granted, and assume that such technology is something that is entitled to them, rather than something to be thankful for.

Out of the millions of people out their who play on their Xboxs daily, use apps on their IPhones, facebook on their laptops during class, or even use Google to search for "boobs", I doubt even one percent of those people truly understand how lucky they are to be able to do those things. In a world where millions, no billions, of people go without internet, or computers, or even electricity, how is it that we as members of modern society can take our technology for granted? I'm not saying that you should shed a tear of joy every time you Google something, but I am saying that next you are at home, bored and browsing the web, think, and I mean really think, about what a absolutely miraculous thing you are doing, and maybe, just maybe, you'll feel a little less bored.
