Entry #10: Technology For the Good?

"The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life."

It is amazing to look around and see how our world is changing. There are so many advances in medicine, schooling, and most of all technology. Just a few decades back we had the beginning of computers and now we have smart phones that are practically capable of anything!! I don't think half of use realize just how blessed and fortunate we are to have this amazing technology. We are able to communicate with people that are on the other side of the world or have something sent to our phone with just a touch of a button.

But with this technology comes great responsibility and many people today are not using it wisely. Some people are using it for terrorist purposes and others to steal identity. But others become so obsessed with technology that their whole lives start revolving around it. They come to the point where their phones, computers, and video games become more important than the people that surround them.

We are slowly heading backwards if us younger generations keep obsessing over technology like we do. I for one can say that I probably spend too much time on my phone. Although I spend plenty of times with my friends, all those hours I spend on my phone or computer could definitely be spent doing something more productive. While the younger generation is mainly the culprit, the older generation can still learn a thing or two. We need to get off our phones and spend time with people so we can keep up our communication skills. Let's use our technology wisely!!!!!!!
