Times are changing. In many ways we do rely too much on technology. For example, many people can't navigate streets they drive nearly every day without a GPS. This seems like a minor ordeal, but it is a major difficulty. It is taking the responsibility away from the humans. Something that is nice sometimes, but we need to still be able to step up to the plate. There are times when humans shouldn't have to rely on anything else, also if there is ever a technological failure humans need to be able to take things into their own hands, take responsibility solve the issue.
Technology has also changed us socially. In college, kids are able to spend more time in their room as they have internet, tv and pretty much anything else they will ever need. This allows people to be less social, meet less people, and make less connections for the real world. When one walks down Appian Way, most of the kids are either listening to music or on their cell phone. I am a victim of this as well. People aren't enjoying the outdoors and nature for what it is. Sometimes it is good for people to unplug from everything and just experience the day.
Technology has been a huge help for me as well. I have friends all over the world, and as a result of Facebook, I don't need to keep track of their ever changing addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. I can communicate with them whenever I please, share pictures and videos as if I was sitting next to them.
Facebook has its positives and drawbacks, do you think it has been more of a benefit to you or hindrance?
