Technology - For the Better?
Each consecutive generation gets to experience the newest advances in technology. In the 1950s it was the television which began to be affordable for the average family. In the 1990s cell phones were beginning to be made accessible to the general public. Now in the 21st century, the iPod, iPhone, iPad, Smart Phone and texting are all available in full force. Technological advances seem as if they are only increasing at a more rapid pace every successive year. With all the upgrades and changes in the ever-present technological movement, there is cause for concern, even while celebrating the march of progress. Society has always been optimistic, excited, thrilled even, to experience the next big advance, which will make life so much easier. Though there have been great discoveries made through technology, there are always subtle repercussions that may be found to be fatal further down the road. Technology has transported us into the Age of Information, but ironically it seems as if technology yields the power to generate a lazier, divisive, impersonal, and more impatient society.
