materialism!

we need technology to do our work for this class!! its very important. The assignments for this class proves that we need technology to even do our simple blogs. otherwise, we would have to travel to the sinc site or the library to be able to do these blog assignments. How absurd is that. we complain that technology is taking away from our interactions with others, but the main focus for this class is to be able to easily interact with classmates through technology and be able to use these editing programs and such. Its definitely a cool way to take a class though. Its very innovative i think. Thoughts? Am i taking this materialism/vitalism too literally?
