Technology for the Greater Good?

You know we live in a society that enforces that “technology is what makes this world go round” and how it’s so amazing and it brings about better lives for us. Of course the technology that we have today is amazing and the people that contributed can be considered geniuses and none of this is bashing against their bright minds. However, is society using technology in the best sense? I think not! To most people technology is just so accessible and easy to get that we don’t think much of it and we become spoiled towards it. Especially in today’s world, everyone that is in my age group will agree that they needed to work for their phone and when they got it it was not a top of the line one…I don’t know about everyone else but I kind of get pissed when I see a little child with the latest damn Iphone, Ipad, and Apple laptop walking around pretending like they are doing something worthwhile on it. What can a little child do with such a phone!!!! Play games, take thousands of photos of themselves, text, call mommy and daddy..wait sorry…TEXT mommy and daddy? It’s insane and then mommy and daddy bitch that their precious child isn’t healthy, doesn’t go outside enough, doesn’t do homework, gets cyber bullied. I mean you are giving them the right tools.

          Also in my most recent essay I said how people are more willing to destroy then create with this new technology. How it was so much easier. Why is it that we as humans take the easy way out? Why don’t we create with that technology something that we can be proud of? Yeah sure we build buildings and stuff that we would enjoy as humans but where is that selfnessness of giving back to others. Something that doesn’t entertain us? In the same essay I wrote how instead of helping out with animal habitats we just tend to destroy them if they get in our way. That ain’t right! Think about it 🙂
