Today’s class discussion revolved mostly around technology. We are completely surrounded by it wherever we go, whether you are using your cell phone, listening to your ipod, or updating your facebook status. I am even using technology right now by writing on this blog! Everything we do in society now is based on technology. Many of the articles say technology is “frying our brains”, but then why do we rely on it so much?
For me it’s easy to answer this question; I believe that technology is helping advance our society as a whole. We have learned so much thanks to technology, we are open to so many resources that are now available online. The best thing is that everything can be easily accessed either on your computer, your phone, or even your ipod!
Although technology has been advancing our society, it also has its downfalls. Technology has made everyone more impatient because we are able to retain information so quickly at anytime. The simplest tasks like, waiting in a grocery line or even going to the grocery store, seem to be such a hassle and take a long time now.
The typical picture that comes to mind when you think of the future is a bunch of flying cars, robots, and holograms. All of these things are because of technology; it has helped us so much as a society. If you think back thirty years without cell phones and when computers weren’t popular, it seems unthinkable how people could live that way.
