Technology

Almost everything I use in my life today is some form of technology. Things become easier or safer or more fun and they become the new replacement for the older less convenient version. I could not imagine my life without my computer or my cell phone. These are the two forms of technology that I use on a daily basis. I remember my very first cell phone that was a cool new flip screen with a camera that could alomst take an unfuzzy picture! Now looking back at it with my current touch screen, internet browsing, digital image camera cell phone, I realize how far things have come in just the past 7 years. I don't know of any ways that this upgrade in cell phone technology has harmed my life. I do text a lot, but I do not see the negative side of texting. Yes, a lot of car wrecks are occuring because of irresponsible people choosing to break the law, but usually if any law is broken something bad will happen so technology is not to blame; the user is. It is possible to live without a computer, my grandparents do it everyday, but my lifestyle would not be possible without the use of a computer. School work and e-mails are my reasons for using the computer and they do not need any of those things so this technology does not benefit them as much as it does me. Everyone has their own reasons for the technology they use to benefit their lives. I only see positive effects from the technology I use but I also understand that stupid people can make choices to ruin the reputation of technologys.
