Technology is an incredibly important part of our everyday lives. With recent advancements such as the smartphone, tablets, and other portable, on-the-go devices, some people can get a little carried away with how hooked up they are. I know several people who cannot get their eyes off of their screen, whether they're tweeting, texting, or updating a status. We need to realize that we are in control, not our social networking profiles.
While I do not believe that technology will one day take over our lives, although it may seem that it already has, it is important to stay up to date. Smartphones are definitely replacing multiple household electronics, such as alarm clocks, calculators, cameras, etc., but I believe it's for the best. Why wouldn't you want all of your electronics to be in one device? It makes life much easier.
I have to agree and disagree Sierra. I do enjoy having all the handy tools all wrapped up into my phone, but at the same time it seems few people could actually spell or do basic math without an electronic device to guide them along the way. I think my concern stems from being the parent of teenage children. I worry they will become to dependent on technology and be unable to do many of the things my generation can without the use of some electronic device. It makes me wonder what the vast majority of people would do if one day technology failed and we had to go back to doing things ourselves.
ReplyDeleteSierra, you are missing several posts, so you need to try harder to complete the rest of your required posts. Also, each post should be 200-250 words in length. This one is much too short.
