Technology as it is today!

*What new technology could you not live without?

I do not think I could live without a computer to google things, also my ipod touch is almost always with me. Things we use everyday like the dishwasher, oven, and washing machine saves us so much time.

*Has technology changed society?

Technology has made society more dependent, but it also helps to get things done faster. People assume technology can fix all of their problems.

*Is technology a good or bad thing?

I think technology has pros and cons. America has relied on technology for almost everything. So when something electronic breaks they just stand around and wait for it to get fixed, they don't try to find another solution. It is good because it saves us time and sometimes does a better job than we could have done ourselves.

*Has technology made us more impatient or obsessed?

I think people loose their patients so much more easily because they grow up with the newest electronics. Every time a new technology item comes out it is newer and more improved than the last one. People are used to getting on the computer and not having to wait less than 3 seconds for the website to pop up.

*Mark Kennedy said: "All of the biggest technological inventions created
by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - say little about
his intelligence, but speak volumes about his laziness." Do you agree?

I think we almost get all of our information from technology and it makes things so much more easier for people. I can see how it made people lazy. Because they do not have to get up and do things for themselves electronics and technology does it for them.

Summer Time! =D

This summer, I spent the whole month of June and the rest of May, taking drivers ed. Our family took a road trip to Missouri, and we stayed at my grandparent's time share. We went to many plays, water parks, and we got to see Ripleys Believe it or not. I also went to Washington, D.C. with our class in July. We got to see the Washington Monument, the White House, the Capital, and the Pentagon. Earlier this month, I went to the Straw Poll with my aunt and brother. It was cool to see all of the candidates that wanted to or were going to run for president. This past week my family and I went to the Iowa State Fair. It was crazy busy, and we got to take a picture with Sarah Palin. I spent most of my summer swimming and hanging out with friends. Summer 2011 was by far one of the best summers.
