Technology can impact us differently. Like have you ever heard about those people that camp outside a store for a night so they can get their hands on a new piece of tech, before anyone else? Technology is makin us go crazy for it. That is actually a REALLY GOOD example. Ya know what, time to make a NEW TOPIC!!!!

I agree that not everybody will rely on it. You have people like the omish for example, who haven't became completely wrapped around technology. The don't use all the things that we are so used to like cell phones and video games. They also actually do work BY HAND. Which now we have things like factories who do the work for us in a way. Oh, I second that it would be hard to believe EVERYBODY would be caught up in it. And Jocelyn brought up a good point about Amish people. They have been without ELECTRICAL technology for awhile, and I am pretty sure it could most definetly stay that way. Thank you. I think that is probably very hard in a way for them to keep it that way but I think they can do it. THink about this for awhile. What if all of our electricial technologies were taken away from us? This i swhat it is probably like for them but not as hard because they did not grow up with those technologies like we did.

Oh snap! That is SO true, Jocelyn. If it ever does happen, what would the world be like? I think I might have to make another thread.

She would rather eat teranchulas(don't know if its spelled right) than try to use her old apple 2E or whatever her computer is.

Well, the amish people i know about go without things like tv, cell phones, or video games.

Here I want you to discuss how technology has affected us as humans. You might discuss how technology affects us as individual people - how we think, act, behave, etc. Or you could discuss how technology impacts our culture (religion, education, economy, etc). Go out and find some resources to support your points or post links to sites you found interesting about how technology affects us. Do more than just post your random ideas, of course your ideas are welcome as well. Two ideas of tech taking us over are Orwell and Huxley. They both think that tech will take us over and it has and will but its near impossible to say that everyone is going to rely or get addicted to tech. Tech is a very powerful thing and it can get addicting but to say that everyone is addicted is hard to come by .
