We are in the information age. Information is everywhere, attainable at the speed of light. I wonder how human beings ever lived without it simple because I never have.
When I was younger, I never needed a cellphone, now I wonder what how I ever did anything without it. My cellphone is an extension of myself, any one can get a hold of me anywhere at anytime. Wait, is that a good thing?
Also, when I first came to school I didn't have a computer. I felt isolated and lost. I had to do my homework at school, I could only listen to the cd's I had, My only source of entertainment was books, I couldn't surf the net. Life without a personal computer was just horribly inconvenient.
My cousin doesn't have the internet, and I asked her how she did research for school, and she said that she used books! Could you imagine how LONG that would take!? actually having to search for the right books and then having to read each book one by one. I'm being sarcastic obviously, but its true, the internet is just so much easier.
My mom and I always have the conversation about how human beings are loosing personal interaction now with msn and texting and other technology based communications. I agree with her, mostly how we can chat for hours with our friends and never see the light of day or feel another human beings touch, but again it's the convenience of it all!
But what if it gets to the point where humans can't handle the power of technology. There has been so much medical advancements, but what if we don't quite understand what we're doing? Human beings don't yet understand how our bodies and our brains work, and we are experimenting with technology, maybe we have not seen the repercussions yet. Information is flying at us at astonishing speeds that it is hard to despiser the truth from the lies. People care more about their jobs then about their families, and everything is run by money money money. But still, the convenience! We literally wouldn't be able to live without it.
