Cutting edge technology can make or break a country, a trip, a life. No one can escape its slow conquest. The world clapped and cheered in wonder at the marvels of black and white soundless movies, room-sized computers that could do simple math equations, and party line phones. Then came the upgrading. T.V. had sound, computers shrunk to large block-sized, phones became shoe-sized portable phones. Today there are thin plasma screens, computers that can complete thousands of mind-boggling tasks and yet are weigh as much as a book, and tiny cell phones that can surf the web.
It seems as if everyone is in a race to have the latest, fastest technology. A student upgrades his computer, but is devastated when he realizes someone else got the same upgrade only with a wider screen. Another person proudly flaunts a blackberry phone only to be crushed when her friend starts texting on his iphone. A friend gets a kindle for Christmas but feels cheated because she didn't get an ipad. Everyone wants to be with it when dealing with technology. The number of people that refuse to participate in the race for the smallest and the best gadgets is gradually dwindling.
Too much of technology posses potential threats some claim. True. People that play computer games in class or at work, facebook stalk everyone they know, or that twitter every thirty minutes are wasting valuable time. Yet, technology has benefited society in a variety of ways. Without technology there would be no communication, no quick plane rides, no emails, movies, powerpoints, and a lot of people would have much poorer health.
New inventions, advancements, and discoveries are made daily. What started as a few humans struggling to survive in the wilderness has now become a world bustling with millions of people all in a hurry to make money and upgrade their technology.
While most believe technology is essential, occasionally even the most techno-savvy individuals fail to use technology that really matters. Laptops are great, so are cell phones, and ipods, but those things only advance someone's individual lifestyle. Some neglect perhaps the most important technology available, home security. Home security allows individuals to sleep peacefully at night, knowing all their technology, is safe, but most importantly, they are safe.
