My Laptop Committed Suicide. It was Horrific.

Taylor, M. 2014, My Laptop Committed Suicide. It was Horrific. What We Wrote, 8 March, viewed online 20 March 2014, <http://whatwewrote.com/my-laptop-committed-suicide-it-was-horrific/>.

This short story like all those published on What We Wrote, is based on true events, though it has been retold with the intention of entertaining. The events at the core of the story are unchanged, and these show how pervasive technology has become in our lives. To study social informatics we have to take into account both society and technology (Sawyer & Tyworth 2006). Reading this it is clear that society has become so reliant on technology that we can no longer be separated from it easily. Even after the unpleasant experiences we have with technology we cannot live without them, we use them for work, study, entertainment, and to run our every-day lives.
