Technology is changing the world!

Technology has changed the world as we know it. With that being said, what is technology? Technology is essentially using science for purposes to help us in our everyday lives. When you think of technology you may think of phones, computers, cars, watches, etc. However, there are many forms of technology that help us incredibly well all the time. The first video we had to watch for this post showed us a little boy on the futurama. The futurama was a ride that was actually designed and debuted in the 1939 New York World's Fair. However, it was designed as a ride of the future. The goal with it being a ride of twenty years into the future. People rode on it and they were told they were seeing a ride that would look like the world they would see in the 1960s. That is a very cool concept. No wonder the ride was so popular. If someone told me that I could ride a ride and see what the world was like in twenty years I would get on it in a heartbeat. My adrenaline would be pumping to beat the boom. The ride was put up again at the New York World's Fair in the 1960s. This is the time when the video takes place and we see the little boy riding on it. I think the reaction and experience the little boy has is very accurate of everyone's reaction to ride the ride. Everyone wanted to do it. I think it would be the same thing if you took our great grandparents generation and showed them things such as apple watches and stuff. Those are things they not only didn't have growing up. Those are things that were not even thought of while they were growing up. 

The second video we had to watch for this post was a video showing us a remix song. It is a remix of a song that was by the band Tears For Fears. However the remix we are watching is by Moby. The point of you having us watch this video to me is to show us how technology can impact the world. This remix and the visual to go along with it was phenomenal. I'm not normally an emotional person at all, but I have to be straight up and honest and just say this remix and video just about brought me to tears. Whether it is through movies, tv shows, videos, or sound effects, technology has brought new personal power to emotions that would not be possible without technology. I can definitely see how this is a good example of how technology is a great thing and how it has really impacted and changed the world.

Technology definitely has its good and its bad. I know that since social media has become a thing suicide rates have gone up. People are much more self conscious about themselves and their image when they really should not be. I'm not trying to defend social media. I think social media is a cool concept but I honestly think the bad does outweigh the good when we are talking about social media. People are so concerned about how many followers they have on instagram, what their snap score is, how many likes they got on their photo, and what people think of them that they really lose a sense of self. I would agree that social media could definitely be classified as a bad thing. However, I would say that when we are just talking about technology as a whole, technology's good definitely outweighs its bad. The possibilities of technology are endless and it is something that generations before us would have given up just about anything to have access to.
