In response to your comment...

I totally agree with you- technology is fascinating!! And look how far we have come with it! It increasingly adds convenience to our lives. I personally don't think we could live without technology such as the internet, SmartPhones, printers.. etc. These things are so incorperated into our lives now that I think it would be extremely hard to try cut down on the use of them!

Technology while in School

All because I think technology is fascinating, but it is making people more...distant mentally? Technology gives everyone an excuse to avoid anything. I HATE not talking to people face to face. Especially when it comes to times when I'm stuck on assignments and I need to see the teacher for some assistance. Also when my friends and I have a little disagreement that can be really hard . . but then again I never know what to say to them all the time . . I'm guilty of disconnecting myself from the world with my technology. I do know that I wish I would get away from it. When my phone was turned off or when I had to get away from the internet (for Face Book) for a week or so I thought at first I would mentally die, but it actually helped me. I was more focused on my school work, I went outside more, I did some reading that I have not been doing much lately. Technology is not ALL bad, but I do believe it is making more people shy and mentally distant from human beings. Cell phones should be for emergencies...the internet should be limited lol.

So my question is 'Technology  can we live with or without it'?? (Be honest here people haha)
