So I did another brainstorm and redistilled. Doing that, I found a topic in “Technological Dependency” and weather it’s helping or diminishing society.
Subjects in this topic that interest me the most are weather or not technology is “dumbing us down,” and making society lazy. Or, is it opening up doors and uplifting society. So far I think the outcomes seem more negative than positive but that may change over time.
Generation after generation are swiftly becoming more obsessed with technological advancements; and while some become secluded, and social and life skills slowly deplete, others are becoming so “tech savvy” that these new inventions have opened new doors to more opportunities; using technology to their advantage. For example forming a great multitude of connections in business, and making it easier for people to keep up with the world around them to the point where books, magazines, and newspapers are becoming obsolete.
We’ve all have probably heard the phrase “Big Brother is watching.” Well inventions such as the Internet seem to be doing just that keeping tabs on us from Facebook to Google. But without it, we wouldn’t be able to make fast paced connections with out of state loved ones (social networking), find our way around new and unknown areas (GPS), or make quick purchases of supplies and or good saving time from long tiring lines (Amazon). Just like knowledge, technology can be a gift and a curse and too much of a good thing could be bad. It all depends on whose hands it falls into and the way it is used. Will technology becoming the great commodity it was intended to be or will it doom us all as it continues to evolve?
