Am I losing my intrest in Technology?

Can Technology become BORING?

Odd title I suppose in many ways, especially considering that a lot of people who use the Internet, Blog and the like use, and like , Technology all the time.

And what brought about this little "question"?

Quite simple actually:

yesterday saw the arrival of our latest acquisition.

Doom3 on the Xbox arrived, via Postman Pat (or in our case it should more accurately be Post-lady Patricia), on our door mat.

As the software publishers, id Software, had delayed the release of the X-Box version since Christmas, it has become something of an "exciting wait" scenario. You know the feeling, like waiting to see what you get for Christmas, or for a Birthday. You have some idea in the main of what each event will  entail, but you still look forward to ripping through the paper to see if you were right.

Well, this is what it felt like , initially, with Doom. We even changed our order with Amazon from the Standard Edition to the Special Collectors Edition.

But, over the last couple of weeks, technology has become commonplace and boring - and I never thought that i would hear my self say that to ME, let alone anyone else. But over the last couple of weeks - I have to admit it certainly seems to be the case. My Laptop at work (and not only mine) have suffered various technical breakdowns, lockups and general “pain - in - the - @''!!” errors. It is also fair to say that I have been slowly "shuffled" off the main computer by the whole of the family, and you know what, it just doesn't bother me.

Am I loosing my love for the Computer and technology in general?

Is it just a little "downer" because of the discomfort I still suffer whilst the medics treat my shoulder and elbow, typing this was "uncomfortable".

Is it just one of those "time of year "things - you know the end of the cold of winter, waiting for some of the warmth that foretells the coming of summer.

And Doom?

I haven't had chance to have a go yet. Will let you know what goes.

Isn't it funny how the little things make you smile? Here am I chuntering on about feeling a little fed-up and bored.

As is my want, my norm for typing a blog or two is to wander back and forth from the Computer to the Kitchen for a Cup Of Tea, Breakfast or a nibble depending on the time of day, most of you will probably be the same.

However, this morning, I have just wandered through to the kitchen for a quick drink.

There, running up and down his house was our little Hamster. Turning, I guess he saw me and then went and sat next to his food bowl; waiting.

I know this may well be a conditioned response, or even just plain coincidence, but our little girls only concern was her stomach.

No other worries. No boredom. Nothing. Just feed me.

And it made me smile.

And what will happen with regards to the Doom Game?

Two things I suppose. The first is the possible issue of getting on the X Box in the first place. Even though our Liam has a PlayStation 2 in his own room, he tends to end up playing Gotham Racing on the XBox in my room. Luckily my “Baby”, Laura, is not really a Games Console person, but that said, with Cathy at work today, I have to go with the Kids to Archery (Sad or what! – I think not). But then I have the ordinary household chores to attend to (which will include at least ten minutes being ignored by a Teenager when you ask for a few minute help).

The second issue – can I really be bothered at the minute anyway?

Will let you know what goes.
