The downside of technology.

I can't remember where I heard it exactly, but someone said that stuff like the internet and cell phones were made to make life easier, and make it so people have to work less so they can spend more time with their family. Now I truely understand why whoever said it says that it was wrong. I get home, first week of college over, no homework since I did it all, ready to relax and then I check my email. My chem teacher already sent us homework, and I have no clue how exactly to do it, so I'm going to end up spending a couple hours reading the chapter in my textbook then a few more doing these problems. If I'm lucky, the problems won't be too long. Reading a whole chapter from a chemistry textbook on the other hand will. Sure love surprises...
