That's all folks.
Technology serves one purpose and that's to make our lives easier. If we need to contact a certain amount of people, we open our E-mail, click everyone we'd like to send this information to, and click send. I noticed that just two years ago, we had a major ice storm. During that time our school had no power. Because of this our school was closed for several weeks. Schools can't even function without a working computer. When was the last time you saw a teacher writing notes on the board instead of typing it out on a powerpoint to show to class? When we come home, what's the first thing we do -- use the computer and turn on the tv. Tell me, when's the last time you actually remembered a phone number instead of scrolling through your phone looking for the number? Countries alone are run by technology. Debit cards, Stoplights, Elevators, Air Planes, Cars, and even electric pencil sharpeners.
Has technolgy really taken over our lives this much? Where we can't go 2 minutes without checking our phone to see if we have a text? Where we can't go a day or two without checking Wrestlezone forums to see if anything interesting is happening? Or can't even walk across a campus without seeing a student on the phone, laptop or listening to their iPods.
Today's people, including me, have become socially inept and too dependent on technology. Now this isn't meant to be a hate technology thread, because technology really can be awesome at times. But sometimes we take technology too seriously, and depend on it too much. If your computer breaks, dont get pissed about it. If the Internet goes down, its not the end of the world. If your phone is fucked up, don't kill yourself. Try to see how long you can go without using technology. This leads to the discussion questions:
How long can you "survive" without technology?
Are we too dependent on technology?
Can a society fuction this day in age, without technology?
And as always, here's a pic for the troubles
Discuss this shit.
EDIT-I never would've thought to put this in the Video Games and Technology forum. Move if necessary.
