Time and space

While reading the article about new media I begun to put together a time line in my head. This time line is a crazy one because at the start of the timeline is a train. The train is traveling very very slowly but as it travels it begins to double in speed. Within a hundred years which is where we are today the train is going very very fast. This train represents technology and the timeline represents, well, time in which we are living. This train will not be stopped because there will be no one to stop a train this fast. It will keep getting faster and faster. The train also represents the way in which technology is growing at such a rapid pace. Its amazing how every foot further the train travels it doubles in speed. It is very coinciding with how technology today is acctually going. It keeps getting faster and everything keeps getting smaller. I am scared to see what our world will be like after another hundred years of the train effect. I am thinking it will be a very relaxing way of life. Becuase after all one of the main things technology does for us is make life easier and relaxing.
