Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy

Technologies...what comes to mind when you hear that word? People don't seem to care about technology...I mean technology is very useful without it our life wouldn't be like it is right now.People seem to take advantage of technology, instead of using it for the right reasons, some people tend to use it for the wrong reasons such as killing, stealing, and terrorizing a whole country. In the good old days, people didn't have technology, they hand washed their clothes on the lake, cooked food using fireplaces by rubbing two wood together and making fire, there were NO TV's, computer, radio, MP3's so people used other people as their sort of entertainment. Technology has been around since 1958. Technology not only has helped us in our daily lives from getting to school from our houses via car, buses,trains, etc., talk/chat and webcam with our relatives from around the world and meet new people from around the film, talk to our friend by telephones or more convenient cellphones, wash and dry clothes without human labour, clean the house using a vacuum, cook food using stoves, research information using the Internet, and make homework easy without writing just typing. Technology also has lead to many new interesting inventions and cures for people with illnesses. To me, technology is really important. Technology has kept me alive, entertained and it helped me meet new people from around the world via Facebook and MSN , it also has changed my life because then before I came to Canada, I hand washed my clothes which took quite long, now that I live in Canada I can afford to buy a washing machine and a dryer. I feel that people should not take advantage of technology because people in our next generation would have nothing if we use up all of these resources. Technology is good if we use it for good and bad if only used for bad choices. Without technology, I don't think I would live because I wouldn't want to live my life being bored. Something I totally can't live without is TV because TV is my life; it gives me entertainment, great infromation about life and it makes me aware of my daily environment. For example there are diseases spreading outside such as Airborn, then I wouldn't plan on going outside and catch the risk of dying. Therefore, technology is very important and people should NOT take advantage of this invention for when used for wrong purposes, it might lead to losing it altogether.

I totally agree with you Nneka, life would be really boring without things like television and the internet. It would also be very hard to do everyday things like cooking and cleaning. People really should appreciate technology because without it, we wouldn't be who we are today. Nobody should use technology for bad purposes and we shouldn't complain when something is loading a little slower than usually because at least we have technology. There are many people around the world that don't have the same things as we do and would love to have them, even if the do load a little slow.

Haha, technology definitely makes our lives easier as well as more interestin, but still, there is a point where we need to draw the line, so that people do not take advantage of technology and use it for the worst.
