How has technology affected me positively

How has technology affected me in a positive manner.  Let me start, as always, with a story.  You see I don't consider myself a cat person I have had 2 in my entire life.  One as a child and one now...  You see as a kid I begged my Momma for this kitty, and she was beautiful all grey with black patterns all through her fur.  I kept her inside all the time, I loved it... till I had to clean that litter box!  But I muscled through it,  she slept on my bed, followed me everywhere, and filled that litter box.  ugh!   gross, I hated it and when I forget to fill it.  Not only was I grounded but I still had to clean the overfilled disgusting thing.  

So needless to say, I never asked for another!  Somehow I found myself many years later with a cat, and yet the same problem.  Now I really love this cat.  But I really don't love cat droppings...  Years ago they started advertising the automatic kitty litter pan!  You know clip the lid on it when its full and dump it.  I have been foaming at the mouth for one of these forever but it is hard to justify on a tight budget, $100 for it.  In the back of my mind I kept thinking what if I do get it, and its not all what the hype is all about.

Well one day at a thrift store they had one $6, I nearly ran with it to the counter.  The lady said "oh... someone can use it"  I went on about how I had been looking for one of these for years, and how excited I was for my lucky find.  She then asked what is was I told here.  She laughed and said well we had that in the back for over a year and didn't know what it was, we almost threw it in the trash!

I nearly fell over.  Needless to say this thing is awesome!  I know you might have thought that I would say a cell phone, or ipod; which these things are truly fabulous things in my world, but the Automatic cat box is the bomb-diggity!
