joshua aki

My idea is that technology is going to cause the world a major down fall. We rely on technology so much in the world that when we dont have computers and cell phones etc. we will not be able to function properly. All these satallites and power lines and stuff. One day we are going to overload. Then the entire worlds power will be gone resulting in this theory.So far the storys im going to use are Trucks and Mangler in my essey. I do not know what sources i will be using so if anyone has any ideas on that please let me know. Thank you. Anyways, The main idea of my story will basically be how cell phones computers and telivision and everything will no longer be there causing the world to go into caotic distress. This might not happen in any of our life times but it is unavoidable as of now.I think king has similar views on technology because of his writings. Like the novel cell. Trucks is screaming this idea. How there is so much advances in the truck will cause it to malfunction. yada yada. lol. ttyl in class......peace.

Technology: Beneficial or Detrimental?

I honestly am hung in between both beneficial and detrimental, because it can go either way just depending on how you look at it. Yes, technology benefits us with our healthcare, travel, communications, and education, but at the same time it also hurts us, because it is slowly has deteriorated our planet and also we have grown to reliant on technology. To go more in depth on the positive side of technology, without it there are thousands of people whose are changed because of the medical advances that have been created, for instance without these medical advances my knee cap would not be attached to my leg. Also without technology how would we get to school or work without having to wake up hours before we would originally have to, but with technology we are now able to get places faster through automobiles, trains, and even planes. Now we can even talk to people on the other side of the world with the technology we have now, whether it is through a phone or a computer, it is possible to communicate instantly. Tehcnology also hurts us though, and it does this because it tears our enviroment apart by polluting it. To most pollution is not a good enough reason for people to think that technology is bad for us, but if you really think about it, it is hurting each and everyone of us. The pollution is opening our ozone layer and this is making all of us more vulnerable to skin cancers. Now, we all breathe in every last bit of our own pollution, and that also is detrimental to our health.
