I think what we have now of technology is enough forever. We do not need new technology. I feel my life became silly because of it. I will tell you why I cannot stand technology anymore, and please tell me if you agree or not.
The reasons are:
1. Because of technology, I do not miss my family, who are in Saudi Arabia, as I should. There is no new news of them, not like what would come through a letter. Instead, I know what they are doing at this moment: what they are eating and what they wearing. I miss this feeling that I cannot wait to hear from them.
2. Because of technology, as I a farm girl I cannot imagine that Facebook will teach me how to plant or how to manage farm.
3. Because of technology, the relationship between wife and husband is not as good as what it should be, because of their lover laptops.
4. Because of technology, the family does not stay together to watch TV or to do things together because their children are busy with Messengers or Facebook.
5. Because of technology, Mr. Facebook taught people how to be more curious to know about others people life. The question “Do you have a Facebook?” became essential in every conversation with people.
6. Because of technology, my room became the hottest room in the house because of heat emitted from my computer. I cannot deny it is good in the winter. It helps.
7. Because of technology, there are no children. The children become immediate adults when born.
8. Because of technology, many people wear glasses and gain weight.
9. Because of technology, I would rather live alone rather than live with somebody who has no responsibility because the technology spoiled him/her so they do not know what real life is.
10. Because of technology, cheating of any kind has become easy.
11. Because of Technology, I go to class to teach, try hard to explain to my students, and then I figure out no one is paying attention because the students have many important things to do like texting, looking at others’ lives Facebook, or playing games on their phones.
12. Because of technology, teachers think everything became easy so they give us too much homework. (That is why I am writing this blog entry, by the way.)
13. Because of technology, I'm afraid that we become like people in the movie Wall-E. If you do not know what I mean, you should watch it.
Anyway, I cannot deny that I am grateful to technology. But, I think you should stop inventing things for normal people. We can live a normal life with the technology what we have right now. And we should focus on technology that can help people with disabilities and their needs. They deserve a better life.
P.S. I wrote this because I am overwhelmed with the homework in a major based on technology.
