I have been fascinated by the recent skyrocket in technology in the past 5 years. It seems like yesterday that cellphones were one piece blocks containing a screen and the number pad. Now we have flat smart phones like the Samsung Captivate, phones that have a sliding keyboard like the Droid, and even the Go phones have a uniqueness about them. Computers have also have improved as well. Instead of having huge monitors that you have to try to balance on your small desk and putting a CPU underneath the desk where you barely have enough room for your feet in the first place, now you have a computer call the I-Mack that is a all in one. Gaming graphics have also improved. From Nintendo 64's ok but pixelated graphics to the PS3's Blue Ray graphics, we have come a long way.
Even though these improvements are great, it seems that our lives are more hectic than they were. I'm not proposing that we should not use these improvements, but it's something I've been observing lately. When something new comes out, a new set of problems comes with it. So even though being able to wirelessly print from a laptop is great, someone has to set it up and keep it working. Having a Facebook, Twitter, or a Blog is great for getting your thoughts out or socializing with your friends, but some people have to check these almost every other minute. Texting is another thing that people are getting obsessed about. Every group that I've been in, at lest one person is checking their phone to see if they got a test or they are texting someone. My thoughts are, why be in a group if you are going to text every other minute, you are bound to miss something that the group says, and in my opinion, it's not respectful for others. I would say, text when you are by yourself. So that's my spill, thanks for reading if you did.
