tracking computerized things

Last night, I realized that I interacted with more computerized objects than I would almost like to admit. Whether it be getting cash out of the ATM, watching tv, playing with my phone or even preheating the timer on the oven for a frozen pizza. We really don't realize just how integral computers are in our lives. For example, this morning I checked the weather on my phone without even realizing that ten years ago this would have been an absurd thing to do. Things that I do in my free time including listening to music, reading the news, or watching things that make me laugh all involve computerized systems. Just because I am not on my computer when I'm scrolling though pictures on my digital camera doesn't mean I'm not in some way interacting with one.
