Technology
Maybe I am old school, irrational, whatever you want to call it, but I am coming to believe that all the new-fangled technology in the world is sometimes a bad thing. Let's look at what technology has done for us lately...automated phone lines that make talking to a real person the hardest thing to do, and you don't even try it if you don't have an hour to spare! Oh yeah, there are computers with spell check and language check which has all pummeled spelling and grammar skills into extinction. Cell phones that mean I can be found anywhere, anytime, day or night. Let's not forget the fact that TV, Mp3 players, and other multi-media devices have made lectures in school so boring that a recent study by the Christian Science Monitor says 70% of dropouts, are so bored that they just choose to quit.Sure it's a little easier, but life is now lazier, and more complex. There are 2 edges to this sword, and although I appreciate most technology, I have to admit that it is not necessarily a good thing.
