Over the past hundred of years we have seen extraordinary changes in technology and how it has also realy changed us as people. We used to watch the birds and wish we were them and now we are visiting planets that have never seen a terrestrial animal. We used to dream of going round the world in eight days and now we can communicate around the globe in milliseconds.
Technology has changed our lives significantly in ways we good not have even imagined years ago. Whn it comes to wor it is so much easier and more productive. We have more leasure time than ever before and most leisure activitys we are involved in now are someway or another related with using technology.You are reading this on a piece of equipment that, if someone from a hundred years earlier had been brought forward to today, would flatly declare magic and no amount of explaining would convince them otherwise.
Technology computers, gadgets, cleaning, manufacturing etc. etc. has improved wonderfully and I would love to see what it will be like in the next hundred years time...its hard to even imagine. I am sitting here typing this on my laptop and at the same time watching the xfactor on television. Talk about multitasking :) talk about technology, I love it!! And i love the xfactor!!!
Although technology has changed people haven't realy. We as people still have to do the same things to get by in life and to survive. We still have the same basic likes and dislikes. Still fight over the same things. Sure the boys and their toys have changed but the principles haven't.
The fear that I have is not for the technology but for us as people in this ever changing world. Technology changes fast but we as people fear change and hope to resist it. Yet due to economic pressure technology keeps changing whether people need it or not. And also with the economic down turn its a question of will people be able to afford the latest gadjets to keep them up to date in technology.
