Computers are Taking Over the World

I had a wonderful blog post planned after I spent a week with the kids at grandma's house while she was away. During our stay, the kids had run of the house and the yard and thoroughly enjoyed their time having so much more freedom. I took this opportunity to take some really great photos of my kids doing what they love most - hanging out all together in the sun and rolling around on the grass. Everyone was so happy with all the space - I even caught mole playing with sniper once! He will never admit it, but I saw it!

I had a great time relaxing, playing ball, training in a yard, and snapping photos of my kid's happy smiling faces. I took THE MOST AMAZING PHOTO EVER of mole laying next to sniper in the grass -both with their tongues out and eyes half closed from exhaustion. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime photos that everyone dreams about. I kept looking at it in the view finder trying to be patient so I could get home and upload it onto the computer. I took some beautiful photos of Abby standing still - she has such pretty lines when she stands still and I have very few photos of her doing so. Pocket was being a diva most of the week and never came out to pose for the camera.

I got home not too long ago and the first thing I did was grab the card from the camera and put it into the reader in my computer. What is the first thing my computer did? It deleted ALL the photos I took over the week. It said the drive wasn't formatted properly and then deleted everything so it could fix it! It didn't ask me if I wanted it fixed! It just took it upon itself and "fixed" it for me!  I pulled the card out and put it back into the camera to see if everything was really gone. . . and sure enough. . . it's all gone. All those wonderful, once in a lifetime photos are gone. I'm so frustrated and annoyed.

I never believed it before, but I truly believe that computers are going to take over the world now. They are going to start making decisions without asking us and we are going to be completely helpless because we use them for everything now.

I'm so sad!
