No technology kinda...

Stop



This seemed to be not so much a large deal to me as many others in my generation.Mostly this is because I was pretty poor throughout my teenage years and therefore have always been behind on the technology curve. I am in a very little way defined by the technology I own.

In all honesty to address the upside of lacking technology I found that I was able to get a lot less done in my academic studies. Not because I needed others to help me with my assignments or guide me through but rather I wanted to know what was happening in my friends life and especially that of my girlfriend who does not live near by. One would think that technology would distract modern students from actually focusing on there studies and though this may be the case in a short term view it is less productive to be lacking communication technology.

The also strong presence of lack of personnel comfort cannot be ignored. When lacking communication based technology one is unaware of when people are getting food or what any of their friends are doing. It is as if lack technology isolates an individual from society. Much in the way that many developing cultures connect by cultural traditions, sports or religion. For many it seems that technology is their God the controller and connector to all forms of communication and happiness that matter. Apart from others other materialism that can drive up happiness falls short.

In long term development however the lack of technology that is communication based would allow for a vast expansion of focus on education for many teens. These distractions I do admit hinder our educational advancement however as I and many in our generation feel there is always cost and benefit that must be looked at. I would easily give away a good bit of intelligence and wisdom by worldly standards to advance the networking, care and love expressed between both friends and lovers. So maybe this technology in hand represents not so much a dependence but a change in direction as to importance. Being the most powerful country is something largely forgotten and rather assumed in American culture for the coming generation but instead we are using technology even down to the simplest of men to define what direction we desire. May history be our judges.

Thank you and goodnight
