Technology 'N Me: A Valentine's Story

My National Speaker's Association meeting has fallen on Valentine's weekend, leaving me time to reflect on the love-hate relationship of my life...

I'm talking about my on-again, off-again fling with Technology.

You see, Technology is like the BMOC (big man on campus), and I am the shy chick in the hiking club.

And Technology looks pretty good to me, especially with Valentine's and Sadie Hawkin's in the air, so I flirt.

I smile big on Facebook. I wiggle my brows on LinkedIn. I giggle on Twitter.

And Technology responds. Contacts increase. Events start moving.

But I get tired or bored or plain overwhelmed trying to keep up with T. I cut and paste my heart out and Technology whispers in my ear asking for more: "Wouldn't a little Ping be fun tonight, Pumpkin?" or "How's about you 'n me Skype after supper tonight?"

I know that for any relationship to succeed I need to work my half of the deal, and I do try. I attend conferences to learn the latest and greatest and must haves and must do's. Alas, Technology and I do not always see eye-to-eye... I don't have the time to do and learn it all...

So I ask myself, What parts of this relationship am I willing to work on? What can I leave behind? and How can I make the most of the time I have to spend with Technology?

At day's end, we stand in the doorway. I kiss Technology good night and step away.

"But can't we blog just a little, Babe?"

Maybe tomorrow, Sweetie...

Comment by Ryan ~CEO of the BFHS Network on February 14, 2010 at 12:33pm: CK- that is one of the things that plaque me- for years I was wondering how can I be in 5/6 places all at the same time. I started to reach out to my bff Google and other that I was close to- ohter bloggers, studying their crafts- checking not just what they wrote, but also looking at the applications they were using to say to post to twitter and facebook at the same time- when you ask you shall recieve- becaues now when I post in one location- for example here- when you post a blog- it will go to my fan page and twitter at the same time- I have also figured out how to post blog in advance and have them post at different times in the future so that- I can have a little fun with people outside my computer- It make me smile when people ask me do I every sleep or call me Mr. Facebook and I know that I was sleeping when the post came through!!!

I love technolgy.
