One of the articles we had to read for class sort of got me thinking. It was one of the articles about how too much technology is bad for you. Looking at the screens too much or too long, you can get “addicted”, it makes you tired, irritable, its bad for your vision… a whole list of reasons why too much of it isn’t a good thing. Yet we’re reading these articles online… It just seemed sort of crazy and contradictory that we’d be reading about something that is bad for you, on something that is bad for you. You know?
There was also an article about how parents nowadays are too busy with there iphones and blackberries to pay attention to their kids. One little kid had to resort to biting his mom's leg. Its pathetic and ridiculous when parents get too wrapped up in their smartphones, or whatever their using, and ignore their children. Why would you do that? I really don’t get it. What are you looking at that is so important that you cant look away for 5 minutes to check on you kid?
I think it really sucks that our society has become so dependant on technology. Cell phones for like calling and texting I can understand since its not as big a deal, its more for communication. It can keep you safe, but all the constant facebooking and emailing or whatever, its getting out of hand. I wish people would come to their senses are realize that if you keep your faces buried into those screens too long, you’re going to miss out on the rest of your life.
