essay 2 thoughts

Technology… I think it is beneficial to human society, well that’s what I wrote about in essay one. I talked about the uses of it in education and health care. I like the inventions of the cell phone, computer, and transportation vehicles. I don’t know about you but I love being able to talk to my friends with the push of some buttons to see what homework we had. When the technology crashes we will not be able to use it to get some of our grades. Although some teachers keep paper copies of our grades, I don’t think all of them do. All of our papers are typed on the computer most of the time. So if technology crashed tomorrow, all of our wonderful papers would be gone within the snap of a finger. We do depend on the use of the internet for way too much research; I don’t think graduating students even know how to do research out of a book anymore. I think we should have a day of the year where the government shuts off all the power for twenty-four hours. See what people do, how they react, and how just that one day might change their lives. They might be a little more aware how bad we need technology as a crutch to today’s society.
Health care has also changed a lot over the past years in a very beneficial way by, expanding our life span, being able to see broken bones, torn ligaments, and other things that are wrong with our body. I can’t think of anything wrong with technology in the health care field because it saves lives every day. You cannot tell me if your grandpa is about to die because of a blood clot or something we can fix with modern day technology, that you’re going to say no to the help of technology. I’m sorry but if someone I love is about to die I’m not going to do some voodoo ritual and hope they get better. You better believe I’m going to take them to the doctor where they can check every microscopic millimeter of their body.
