Uhh..not sure if this is the right place to post this. I was thinking debate, but i dont know. Anywho...
A lot of people say all this technology will make people stop communicating and doing anything natural and blah blah blah. Do you think an advancement in technology will improve our world (as appeared in t.v. shows and futuristic books) or ruin this world (um..also in t.v shows and futuristic books =P)? I think you get the point, right? I'm sort of in the middle about this. |

I think you get the point, right? Technology stops people from communicating? How is that any kind of conclusion when we have technology to thank for this discussion between you and I? A girl in Saigon VN can talk to her sister living in Houston with few buttons to push. Businesses can communicate with their suppliers; Moms can reach their kids any time with cell phones. Technology is not "making" people do anything. People use technology as a convenience. If anything, people force others to use technology for their own convenience. We still have the choice to do things the "natural" way, but that'll just limit our boundaries by taking too much of our time. As we all know, Americans live on "time" so we're so dependent on technology. However, it's very much still a choice to be dependent. If people choose use technology to communicate rather than pesonal contact, then that's too bad. Technology is there to enhance communication, not to impede. Laziness shouldn't be blamed on technololgy. I, for once, still LOVE getting hand-written letters mailed the old fashion way. |
