Essay 2: Looks on Technology

Today, everybody loves technology, I can go either way. Everyone tends to use whatever technology throws at us just to make one small task easier. There's no problem with it, but you just gotta know when to stop. I said on my essay that technology is harmful to the people, but that does not mean that I do not like. Honestly I use technology almost every day of my life. But I have managed myself to the point to where I don’t rely on it. Technology is great to the people and to the world, but what if it all just shut down, or at least come to life. Then everyone’s life would be lost and confused, or at least incapable of thinking for themselves. There are a lot of different kinds of technology that can entertain anyone. My favorite is the television. But everyone says that too much television rots your brain. Then there’s the cell phone, and everyone says that texting while you driving can cause an accident. The internet is one of our greatest technological features that we have. It allows you to gather whatever information you need. But like always it has flaw. Too much browsing on the internet can sooner, or later lead to computer viruses, or legal trouble. Although these days technology is really helpful, there will always be a flaw. Remember that there will be shortcuts for each task that technology can provide, but if someone just makes something easier what will we gain. Technology is in fact great, and I will always use in whatever way I can, but I will follow my life not relying on it. I will live a well balanced life with my limits.

Why let technology control it?

I completely agree with you. I said in my own essay that it was detrimental. Say if a big cell phone company ever completely shuts down, then where would we be? Half the world would either have to switch plans with the money that most of us dont have, or just go without. And now a days, going without a cell phone is REALLY bad. People need to start thinking about these things when they change one tiny aspect in a certain object.

I agree too. We are relying way to much on it. My first essay is about how we are relying to much on transportation. How fragile it can be, what happens when everything breaks down, will we be prepared for it? Just a question. What exactly are you writing about? What is your main thing you are going to write about, more than technology in general. But i totally agree how people are over using everything. People are more social on Facebook and on their cellphones than actually talking to people in person. I am not the biggest fan of social networks, it is taking away the real social life.

I understand your position in being dependent on the advances of technology.I wonder what kind of things you have done to prevent on dependant on recent technology.
