The internet has immensely affects us, our thoughts, and our day to day activities. In modern times, we all depend on our smart phones, tablets, laptops, and other gadgets for our news, weather, games, shopping and more. I still remember the time I got my first computer. It was during 1998 when my sister was born. It had windows 98. It was a pentium 2 processor with only 256 mb of ram and 11 gig hard drive. It’s cost was around $4000 and was bought from sears. Even though I had it, I still watched tv and talked to people in person and used a game console. I listened to music on the radio and hung out with friends.
When I looked at it now, we dont’ call people to make plans. Some of us just create an event on Facebook or create a hangout session on Google+. We all download music. The radio isn’t as popular as it used to be. Everyone has a piece of modern technology, whether it may be an iPod, iPhone, or android-based smartphone. We get a notification when the weather changes or if we win an auction on ebay. Technology was created to help make our lives easier. Sometimes I think it just makes us lazier.
It’s scary to see how times have changed. Tech was made to be like us and think like us but that hasn’t been possible and was made a different way to operate. Now humans have become more like tech and how it operates in a systematic and linear way. Sometimes I think tech is making us more limited as well. Creatively and artistic perspectives and skills are becoming more rare. Technology is great but sometimes, I think it’s overdone and growing too fast for humans to fully handle.
