Technology..??

I think that technology is both good and bad for us as a society. If anyone got the chance to watch last night's south park...which is so fitting.....makes you wonder just because we can should we? I am going to save you all the  whole "when I was a kid I had to walk 9 miles uphill to the library to check out a book" because that is getting old. I think that all these advances are making life easier yet annoying. This computer, to me is for homework...email and games. The generation after mine...it would do everything for them but wipe their bottoms. It is amazing that these kids know how to tie a shoe... it is making them dumb this fancy technology business.  One example is that they are constantly multi-tasking....they never accomplish one full thing...its a bunch of little things that get half done if that.  If you were to cut and paste it all together, perhaps they would have a full education on one damn thing.  At best they are learning how to run a computer rather than learn how to wash a dish by hand. What is soap? Perhaps I am too old fashioned but I think a cellphone shouldn't be in the hands of a 9 year old. I think that kids shouldn't feel like they are unworthy of friends because they don't own a ipad. I believe that the greatest feeling a kid should have is an endorphin boost from crossing the finish line after a race rather than how many songs they can download before the get out of wifi range. Technology, as far as social media (iphones, facebook, and youtube), have only given us a faster way to process more stuff at once. It is not for the better! It will ruin us one day. As for the rest of technology, we need it to maintain the advanced society that we are....the horse to the car, the airplane, space shuttle etc. These are things of beauty, but they are meant to be tools. Not an addictive toy we must have in order to get out of bed in the morning. Generally when we see someone who has a hard time getting out of the bed in the morning without their addiction , we give them an intervention and send their butt to rehab. Hey you know they have a show about that? Too bad I am grounded from that picture box thing because I wouldn't stop playing my xbox.
