random post 1

This random post is going to be about the developing advancements of technology in the modern age.  The other part will be if it is good or bad.  Personally, I think that it is important to understand how technology is affects our lives and so on.  Technology helps our life become easier in many different ways.  For one, it helps us communicate much faster and easier among people, it helps us be able to to learn much quicker and easier, receive important updates, fight the war on terror, help create medicine, help allow for the better distribution of energy etc.  These are all good things and make things easier and better on people, but at what cost.  The technolgy could help allow people to build bombs, get information to hurt people in the hands of the wrong people.  For example, there is a aubstance called anit-matter that can power cities very easily and is very clean, but if it not handled correctly it can destroy cities.  That is the double-edged sword we have the abililty to be great but also to be cruel and dangerous.  We have nuclear reactors and have nuclear technology, but we are also the only country that have dropped nuclear bombs on another country.   Also, is having the ability to instantly communicate with people a good thing? It could impede our ability to grow and become mature.  I think that we need to really thibk about where we are going with this technology because if we let it get out of hand we can destroy ourselves, we will be a vicitm of our own superintellignece.
