SO............okay I watched the video and the facts are insane.
I can definitely believe them though. There are so many different ways to get information now a days, that it makes you wonder what is going to happen next. Decades ago there was no such thing as the Internet or texting, not even cellphones. Like if you ask my grandmother to do something in the computer it would be so overwhelming for her. It is ridiculous how fast we can access information today. I can be here sitting in my room and I can be reading a newspaper from China and I can know what is going on over there. The Internet is probably one of the biggest inventions and advance in technology so far. You can do so much with it. If it wasn't for the Internet I wouldn't be able to share my thoughts with all of you via this blog...But even though our technology right now is so convenient, is it good to have everything so easily done for you?
Are we becoming more lazy and lazy every day? Thanks to the Internet we don't have to go to a library and look through thousands of books to find the answer to a history question. Now we can just google it. Yes that is right one of the most well known web search engines is now used as a verb. This shows how much we rely on the Internet now a days. And it is not only the Internet is the cell phones, the portable video games and everything in between. Thanks to this advances in technology we are becoming less social. For example, now we don't have to go visit with family and friends we can just easily talk to them on a cell phone no matter were they are; actually not even that we can just text each other. Some people say, why talk on the phone when you can just text someone? you can basically abbreviate any word now and it takes you half the time. I mean I'm not saying that I hate technology, because there are a lot of advantages, but what worries me is that we are going to some day end up like the people in Wall.E. with everything handed to us, someday there will not be a need to get off a chair because you can control everything with the push of a button or probably not even that with like voice commands or something.
Even though so many great things come with the advances in today's technology. The miss use of it can possibly lead to a not so convenient future.
