Cutting edge technology can make or break a country, a company, a life. None can escape its slow conquest. The world clapped in astonishment 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 chunky and portable. Today there are thin plasma screens, computers that can complete millions 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 technology is essential for communication, and a variety of other purposes, even the most techno-savvy individuals sometimes fail to use technology that really matters. Cell phones are great, so are laptops, and ipods, but those things only advance a person’s individual lifestyle. Some people neglect perhaps the most important technology available, home security. Home security allows individuals to sleep peacefully at night, knowing their other technology, is safe, but most importantly, they are safe.
