My Digital Life

Living in a digital world I find my self in a love hate relationship with technology. I say a love hate because, I mean technology has improved so many things and in a way has made my life a lot easier. I didn’t really grow up with technology because my family didn’t have the money to provide me with a computer or anything else that involved technology. I started using computers when I was in seventh grade. I felt so behind because all the other kids in my class already new how to change the picture on the desktop and I was barely learning how to turn on the computer. But once I started getting the hang in how to surf the web I thought it was the best thing that ever happened in my life. As the years went by and I was growing older I began to notice that technology has been taking over are life’s in a fast paste. Now why I hate technology, I think that technology is making people lazy. For example the Nintendo Wii, this game has made playing sports as a sitting down in your couch for five hours while eating junk food a fun entertaining thing to do. Even though technology has improved are communication abilities it is destroying are way in how we read peoples emotion perceive the intention of their words, and losing that special connection that is different from the connection you get when you log in to the chat rooms. Technology most of the time is appropriate when us in the correct forms, like to email, work on projects, looking for a place to eat, or doing homework for your professors. Its not appropriate when technology is use for malice, its just sad on who ever is doing it and perverted in so many ways. Well were I stand in still in the same place that love hate relationship with technology .I admit it technology has made life a lot easier but at the same time its making us rely on it to much.
