As most of you have probably heard by now, Osama bin Laden is supposedly dead, according to the American government. Working for a newspaper, most of my co-workers were extremely excited because this is breaking news. Our editor-in-chief published an article about Osama’s death on our website.

But there was one problem.

Who’s the one that’s dead again?

(For my international readers who don’t get it, Osama is the founder of al-Qaeda who was killed by American military, and Obama is the president of the United States.)

Topic #100: Your phone, laptop, tablet, iPad, and desktop are dead. Will you make it through a normal working day and evening? What would you miss the most?

I think that if I was cut off from my electronics and Internet access for a full day, I would still be fine, as long as it was only for one day.

I generally don’t use my phone that much at all, so that wouldn’t really be much of a problem at all. I would probably feel incomplete without having a laptop or iPod Touch to be able to check my email, but I’m sure that there aren’t many people who need my attention so urgently that they can’t wait 24 hours. I don’t have a tablet or iPad. As for my desktop, I don’t have a desktop of my own, but I have a desktop at my workplace that I can use to work that day. If I’m not allowed to use that desktop either, I can just switch a working day with my assistant and not have any problems. During class, I take notes with a pen on a notebook anyway, so I won’t be needing my laptop urgently for class.

I think the thing I would miss most is using my laptop or iPod Touch for email and instant messaging communications. Email and instant messaging acts as my link to my friends and other people I know, and it’s especially important for me because of how little I go out and meet up with people in person.
