Blog Post #4

Technology has revolutionized the world we live in today. It has made minuscule tasks such as finding out the weather to tasks like moving our very beings from one place to another. Technology has made our lives the easiest they have ever been. We have technology that made simple, day-to-day tasks nonexistent. We have every opportunity to do the things we love and chase after our dreams because we no longer have to do the things we once did. There is no more farming to live, killing our own cattle, and retrieving our own water because something has already done that for us. Unlimited amounts of information is at the tips of your fingers, and you have the opportunity to seize it at any moment. Unfortunately, there are not just positives to technology.

Technology was supposed to free us up to do people things like interact. Technology was supposed to allow us to move past the mundane and into marvelous, but now the very thing that was supposed to set us free has us in chains. Instead of allowing us to be people, technology has sucked us into a virtual world that seems better than our own. We are losing human connection and interaction. Nowadays, there is less eye contact with a human and more of a screen. Technology was supposed to let me follow my dreams and not be tied up by the monotonous daily activities; however, it takes up the time it was supposed to free.
