The world as we know it, humanity needs technology to survive. Humanity are so dependent on the latest thing, that without it, they feel hopeless. The internet is like door to the quickest update about the world around us. If someone isn’t up to date with the latest, they are considered “slow”. Everyone at least spends two hours on facebook, twitter, and youtube. They waste their lives focus on keeping up with the latest, that they dont get a chance to live their own life.
People are constantly looking to keep an update on other people and events that they don’t get a chance to live their own life. They are stalking other people or following an event that it brings them to an obsession. The life of others and a life that isnt their own brings pleasure of knowing to ones mind, but it waste their time to. Its scary how everyone have access to know what you are doing, when you publish it. Once you publish something on the web, everyone knows about it. You’re life isn’t your own, but it is an universal life. Everyone has a control over it. Just like how technology have a control over your life.
Technology have the power to ruin marriages because people let it. According to WSJ.com, 1 in 5 divorces is because of facebook. People cheat because of the access to other people online. Facebook is like secret life that isnt so secret. Another thing that ruin marriage is computer games, such as Starcraft. 15 percent of divorces are because husbands pay more attention to computer games than they do with their family. It is like a getaway for the husband. An artificial place where one can be anything. The life that is created by technology becomes a life better than the life that they live in.
