#2 The Adverse affects of technology.



    The closer we get to hover boards and virtual reality the further we get away from the natural world. Just as the YouTube video with the facts says that people are learning about jobs that don’t exist. How long is it before there is an engineering degree for people what want to learn how to regulate air? All the things in the video above represent technology. I believe the use of the word technology is: a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge.

    The duality of technology frightens me. The fact that soon a computer will out-function me is more than a little disturbing. Also I find it incredible that we have come so far as a civilization that a news paper knows more than someone in the 18th century would know in their whole lives. The fact that technology grows at such a rapid rate makes knowledge power. Its power because I feel knowledge will no longer be needed when we’re replaced with windows 250.

  1. Good start here but you need more. Continue to push yourself to make connections. For example, expand further on the "duality of technology" you mention. There's a lot here that you are only scratching at.
