Lets live in the forest, Im done with this shit.
Technology and the creation of it, is often referred to in today’s society as the only form of progression, requiring all inventions to be constantly improved. Through my eyes, technology does not always fit this mold, for it is a newfound power constantly abused, and can be a burden. Though it has proved itself worthy in the past as providing easier and more efficient ways of learning. Although the Internet and new media aid us abundantly, this aid is limited. The accelerated life style that our generation possesses is influenced greatly by the vast progression of technology. We are so eager to get out there and experience everything we can, as fast as we can, because nobody really knows what is in store for us, and they want to find out before it is too late. Technology has tormented society in its entirety and has yet to cease. It diverts the attention of students from school work to the abundance of diverse sites on the Internet, latest products and funniest clips with just a click of a button. It also frightens employees by the termination of thousands of jobs appointed to new machines across the country. If anything, I think technology will drive us further away from where we want to be. Technology is capable of providing both goods and evils, but I deeply believe that if our technology continues to progress, that it will eventually degrade our culture, and negatively effect the way we perceive and use technology. The question you need to ask yourself is, how you want to live? Do you want to be tangled up in a meaningless cyber facade, or experience life in a way different from what is now ordinary. Stop and smell the roses, find your passion in life, and try as hard as you possibly can to escape from the technological advancing prison which walls continuously grow thicker and thicker.

Uh, the words that you use to explain this are technology--in fact the oldest technology. Looking at your profile I must inform you that wakeboarding and snowboarding--oops--your going to have to give those up--neither of those things grow on trees and are crafted by technology.
ReplyDeletei think technology can be good, its just when technology overpowers us and starts to make us lazy is when it is too much. the technology within wakeboarding and snowboarding provide ways of getting people active and allow them to benifiet from what nature has provided us with.
