Technology isn’t as great as everyone thinks.
The delete button isn’t working. So I have three extra blank lines at the bottom of the page…
For the record, technology isn’t revolutionizing anything. People say their lives are changing for the better and making everything easier. All it does is make things easier, and that’s when it’s actually working. Otherwise, you become a big fat lazy couch potato. You stare at a screen for hours at a time, whether it’s the computer or the tv. The only workout you get is when you’re typing, getting up to get food or go to the bathroom, or changing the channel. And if it doesn’t work, you’ve become so used to technology that you can’t think of anything fun to do. You think reading is boring now, and you hate going outside. You’re too lazy to get up and go to the gym. That’s what technology’s doing to the world. It’s not making our lives better; it’s making us lazier. Instead of going outside to see if it’s hot or cold, we wait around until the news comes on with the weather. Instead of going for a run outside, we get on the treadmill for 2 minutes and then get bored. And instead of going out to have fun, we stay at home and watch tv.
Despite what people say, you can’t ignore this. Technology is slowly making us lazier and lazier. Sure, it might make things easier, but all that does is give us less of a reason to THINK. You don’t have to remember anything anymore, except where you saved all that stuff you wanted to remember. And it can make word travel faster than some people might want. Like Britney Spears shaving her head. She might not have wanted the whole world to know that right away. But they did. The only good thing that comes out of this part of technology is that people know when something bad happens, like 9/11. So even though technology can be useful, it shouldn’t become your life. Because that’s when people start to fall apart. And sadly, that’s what’s happening to the world today.
