I personally think technology is a good thing for us. It has its bad points too but I think the good out ways the bad. Our use of technology daily is so common that we hardly realize how much we actually use. Every thing we do from the moment we wake up each day uses technology. The alarm clock, the bathroom light, the instant coffee programmable coffee pot. then we get ready for work, and leave the house setting the alarm on the house, clicking the button on our key less entry to get in the car, cars with a/c, c.d, mp3 players, and don’t forget the GPS, power locks and seats (how often do we think about that). I’m not even gonna go in to all the things at work that use technology, and rely on. We rely heavily on technology for nearly aspect of our lives. From the small and mundane to the large and vital things we use technology. [But to what cost] these are some of the areas that I can think of that technology has helped and that we have benefited from
* medical advances
*criminal evidence testing
*daily communication made easier
*instant access to data
*world wide communication
*education benefits
*news reporting
*weather forecasting
*travel
*utter convenience
*electricity
*safety
*criminal justice correctional centers
there are some down sides to technology too {The cashiers at Wal-Mart would not know how to ring up the customers order if the power went out.} how would parents deal with their children w/o power. they would have to entertain them and have conversations with them, and to some parents that is a taboo concept.
most of our houses are not equipped to to save and prepare food w/o power. but that is another paper all together.

I believe you are absolutely right! We do not sit back and realize what we have in life such as electricty, running water, etc. That is a good point for an essay!! good job!
