I Believe
I believe that technology is taking over our lives. Everywhere we look, there is someone using their cell phone or computer to either type something or connect with someone else. I think that it is impossible to live in the modern world, without using a piece of technology in someway or another. I use my phone at least once every 30 minutes of everyday. I catch myself on my smartphone doing things that are pointless, such as downloading the latest app, or on Facebook looking to see what someone I don't even know is saying right now.
The average American would not be able to make it through one day without logging on to Facebook, or checking their phone for a new text message. Society has become highly advanced in its technology; however, I sometimes find myself asking if we should have slowed down when we could. We are on a speeding train ride with no breaks, there is no way to slow down this technologic disease that we have started. People are always wanting more. They want the newest, the best piece of equipment they can get their hands on. We go crazy whenever Apple releases the newest Ipad or Iphone. It takes over all of the news stations for weeks, going over the next big advancement that they have made in the phone, such as Siri. Ten years ago, it would have been absurd for a phone to be your friend and talk to you when you ask it questions. I can only imagine where we will be 10 or 20 years from now.
I believe that we need to take a step back from the modern world every now and then, to remember how simpler life could be. It will be a challenge for most people to do this, but if we can achieve this, it will make it so that we can remember how life used to be.
