Technology

Since I left middle school for Olympia High, technology has become a bigger part of my life. Without a computer I can’t check my grades or look at homework assignments. School makes media required. But even if that wasn’t the case, outside of school I need a phone, or face book to communicate with friends. Sometimes it even seems without a phone I wouldn’t have much of a social life at all.

All this doesn’t mean I don’t like technology I just feel it’s to heavily relied upon, in this generation most people don’t think about it, but maybe it should be, is there a point where it becomes to much? Could it be that with all these fake worlds and, reality TV shows we will lose touch with our own reality. Instead of talking face to face there is texting and web chat, and when people used to have gatherings focused around a sport or board game, it’s all about x-box, play stations etc.

But there are also many advantages to technology that I agree with, such as the long distance relationships you can have with friends around the world, or iPods, I know I listen to mine everyday. In conclusion there are both pros and cones to our modern view of electronics, so I can’t make an over all statement on how I feel about technology.
