my thoughts on our digital use.

The generation that we live in now is addicted to digital things.Whether its a phone that we use or its a television. people have advanced over the yers and that has created the society that we live in now where parents can ask their children to set up their cable or their internet connection. Children today have become more technologically advanced. Now is when all of these viruses are spreading through our computers. When most people didn't own a computer, there were no harmful viruses spreading. i think now that all of these digital gadgets are coming out and spreading to younger kids, one day they will grow up to be kind of dumber in a way. Most devices that people use today think for us. Like on my remote that has a button that says last. if i change the channel and forget what channel i was on previously, pressing this button will switch the channel that i was watching previously. computers also have the ability to do this by correcting your spelling for you. i think all of this was made for the lazy generation which is what we live in today. i actually think one day our world will end up like the movie WALL-E. these companies just make new products that keep the money flowing to them. one day, people won't ever have to leave their homes. Now they have this thing where you can order food online! I really don't understand how someone is that lazy. Sometimes using a digital device is good. Like for me i can search a friend on Facebook that i haven't seen in years, and i can automatically see their profile and start sending them messages. I love that i can do that because it sometimes brings back memories for me and that's cool to me. i wonder sometimes what earth would be like without many of the devices we have today. maybe without all of these gadgets, we can slow down the rate of global warming. maybe people can save some money because i know now i am wasting some much money on my cable bill and its really stressful for my parents. i think i can save so much money if i didn't have half the gadgets that i have now. i think society will be destroyed one day in the future by someone who creates something that ultimately consumes us and keeps us as it's prisoners , kind of like in the movie I- robot. in the society we live in, a world without any digital devices would be chaotic. if someone were to take away all the devices that we use, our society wouldn't be able to function. our economy would fail. connecting with relatives or friends would be tougher. i think that the world was better when the digital era was in its infant stages. people were smarter. people went outside to socialize. now we have web-cams and instant messaging. as i said before, kids are becoming way too smart in this digital area and really not focused on any schoolwork. i think it is messing up our society.
