A Multitude of Screens

What a day!  I'm frantically trying to apply for several jobs.  These would be defined as DREAM jobs.  I sure hope I manage to jump through all of these hoops in time for the deadlines I'm up against.  Is it just me or is there a shiny and glimmering hope emerging for our economy?  Granted this is just my opinion, but it seems that things are getting a little easier.  And thank you...I'll take a little easier, and don't worry I won't even beg for anymore than this taste.  I can be patient.  I have been very patient.

I feel like all I've done all day is stare at a multitude of various screen sizes.  It is odd how so much technology has infiltrated our daily lives.  Just to fill out these applications I have used an amazing array of media and technology.  This morning I found myself browsing for jobs on my husband's ipad2...then once I found my dream job is now accepting applications, well then...I just went crazy.  I found myself using shared folders in Dropbox to move documents and pictures from my laptop and my iphone4.  I found myself referencing printed out documents I have safely filed away (aka: The dates of my lengthy construction work history)...and then it hit me.  I am truly lucky to be using and taking advantage of all of these forms of information and technology.  Thank you again Steve Jobs.  Thank you to all who had a hand in raising the internet out of thin air (and then keeping in thin air as a matter of fact).  Thank you to those who created wireless internet connectivity.  (My printer can talk to my iphone too!)

Not only have I been lucky enough to use an iphone, an ipad, and my MacBook Laptop I realized I've also used several other screens today without even really realizing it.  When I finally took a break for a late lunch (of mac & cheese, what a staple! ;D), I read on my Nook with Glowlight e-reader.  Then later, I found myself staring at my TV Screen while I finished a TV episode streamed from Netflix.

I am grateful for these things.  I am thankful for all of this simplicity.  I should not take any of these things granted and I want to remind myself not to.


p.s. I used my husband's phone to take this picture, my first picture "test" on my blog.  Then I used Dropbox to add it onto my computer without plugging the phone into the computer at all!  Technology can be oh so helpful when we want to embrace it! ;D
