Somtimes Technology Takes us Backwards

You know sometimes technology can actually costs us twice the time, as opposed to its claim to fame, half the time! Well I think I am now up to a count of five separate times that I had to re-post and subsequently re-write my blog entires, weather it was for the class blog or the personal blog. I mean how many times has our class been postponed or canceled due to the fact that other locations couldn't log on or went without visuals practically the entire course because they were improperly connected. This in some weird sense is backtracking. The amount of problems encountered vs. the progress is still nowhere near getting concerned about, but it is enough to set back an entire course about a week, which is hefty enough. I also have noted comments on the blogs, saying "I just posted the best response, and now its gone' , its frustrating and hard to apply the time needed to write a good response, then to have it gone because you hit back twice by accident, then to have to find the time to re-write it, wow how do we do it!! I think what need is some sort of save cache built into the computers that can undo up to three or four pages of navigations, that way if a back button were accidentally hit too many times, we could recover that imparticular page instantly, and without worry of having to re-input the 40 minutes of work and time that was just invested and lost.
