Technology

Technology is everywhere. Technology is a key part of our society and is used in every way possible. There are machines for almost any task and if one doesn't exist, then it will soon be invented. There is technology for problems that don't even exist and there is technology that fixes the problems with other technology. Americans are very fortunate to have so much technology and often take it for granted. The internet makes attending college so much easier and hassle free. I can sign up for classes on line, look up information for projects, as my teachers questions through email, and manage my over college carrier from the internet.

          I think technology is very good for the most part. New medical machines save hundreds of lives every day and just having electricity makes life so much easier. Being able to use cell phones and easily communicate with people all over the country is a great convinience. News networks on TV keep us up to date on every major event happening in the world right now. This ability to communicate over long distances has greatly improved the effectiveness of groups like the United Nations. They are able to address the world's problems more quickly and effectively because they are better informed and know about global events right away. Electricity also enables air conditioning and heating which makes the weather have less of an impact on people. Cars get us from point A to point B and create many opportunities to travel and experience new things.

          Some technology, like nuclear weapons, can be extremely dangerous but the vast majority of technology has enabled humans to live better, longer, and safer lives. Some people get obsessed with technology and forget to communicate with people face to face, but this is a very minor problem right now. People need to learn how to use technology is moderation and not forget that actually being with people is a great experience. Overall, technology is great and I love it.
