by anonymous on 2010-06-21 22:09:11Look at how far we have come because of technology? Where would we be? Scrounging for herbs and plants with our bare hands naked. A bow and arrow constitutes technology for hunting. History has shown that people have fought, stolen, and murdered for our entire history. There have always been disagreements and the sort. People have never been able to create any permanent solution to any problems using only themselves. Only through our creation and use of technology have we bettered our lot on this planet. The overly large population can speak for that. In fact technology has never been the problem, it has always been us...the people. A lack of self control. -

by anonymous on 2010-07-15 13:42:29Agreed. We have over indulged ourselves in technology to the point where we can't function with out it. Social skills have diminished because of digital communication (ie: IM and texting). When was the last time you saw people in businesses today continue working when the computer network goes down. They don't. We are so unproductive without technology. "Oh, I can't work because my computer is down!" It is ridiculous! I was at the mall recently and noticed about 8 kids hanging out together in the food court; where they talking to each other? Maybe...through texting each other. They were standing around texting other people, not saying a word to each other. I saw a family at a restaurant, mom was on the phone, both kids where texting their friends and dad was sitting there eating waiting for some conversation from his family! Sad!! Technology is destroying the human race because we have no self control anymore. We are letting it destroy us and we don't even realize it because we are to caught up in our own "gotta have it now" lives. Sometimes I wish we would go back to simpler times. I know, "be careful what you wish for."
