Technology and Society

Technology has really brought its own culture into our way of life. I think our technology has definitely made life easier and more efficient but in return we have become reliant on these technologies and there systems. I even think it has made us a bit lazy. How many times have you been in bed or on the couch watching tv and realized the remote is sitting some where off in the distance and you were to lazy to get it. Come on now that is like double lazy. In a comment in another one of my blogs someone mentioned how he used his cell phone to call his room mate who lives ten feet away. We are all guilty of these little actions and I wonder just how much we have changed because of these technologies. But technology is far too beneficial to be weary of it and although technologies like cell phones, email, and chat rooms make life impersonal, we are always connected which in its own way brings us together. Imagine if we didn’t have all that we have and we had to live life without such advances. I think we would be more involved within our community and not confined to our computers, game consoles, and cell phones which take up a good part of our time.
