It's safe to say that, without technology, I would rarely speak to any member of my family outside of my mom and dad. Seeing as how the Atlantic Ocean provides a natural barrier between the two continents of North America and Europe, communication between the two can sometimes be difficult and would be close to impossible without technology and the Internet. Sure, phone calls are an efficient way to communicate but there is something to being able to see, not only hear, the family member you are speaking to that makes Skype so precious to me. Also, the fact that we don't have to pay the exorbitant prices for international calls is always a bonus! Without technology such as Skype, I would lose all connection to my old life and all the family back home. Being able to keep such an important aspect part of me letting me merge my old Bulgarian life with my new(-ish) American life is something I value highly and hope I never have to give up. Technology has truly affected me in a majorly positive way by providing me with the ability to not lose touch with my entire family and, for that, I respect it.
