When I did get together with friends, we had a difficult time figuring out what to do besides playing computer games and watching television. The spark of creativity that came out when we started playing together outside did not seem to light up again. I was lucky that I played sports, which gave me some physical exercise, but some of my friends did not even do that.

Of course I did not realize it at the time, but my instant messaging got me in the habit of abbreviating, misspelling and really bad grammar. When I wrote papers in school, my teachers would circle stupid things like your for you're. I had to remember not to put down "U went 2 school," for a sentence. The spell check on my computer did not help matters much, since I became very reliant (and still am very reliant) on it for spelling correctly.

If I made this into a real story, I think that other students my age could identify with it and realize how our computer lives (because they still continue) are both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Recently, some people have been canceling their "My Space" membership, because they realize that all the others they communicate with are not really friends but just associates who come and go. The story could also raise the question of how computers have changed the use of our creative side of our brains, as well as how easy it is to get information compared to the more difficult library research.

When the electricity goes off and kids are left without their computers, IPods, CD players, and television, they do not know what to do with themselves. It is like their friends have all gone home and they are left alone in the dark with nothing to do.

The underlining question is that a problem for the future? Since technology will continue to grow increasingly complex and people will become more reliant on technology is this a good or bad thing? I don't know how I would end the story, since it is still going on. Perhaps I would leave it open, so people could think about it….....
