Technology Autobiography

Technology is such a broad topic, so many areas of discussion! In this post I will talk about my own experiences with technology and about my beliefs of what technology will be like in the future.
First of all, technology has grown tremendously! Do you remember back when laptops didn't exist? When cellphones were very rare to have? When a touch-screen had never even been thought of? I sure do, and I've only been on this planet for a short 16 years. Technology has advanced rapidly in just that short amount of time! Can you imagine what its going to be like 40 years from now?
I have no doubt why technology advances so quickly, our world today relies on technology for daily tasks. Many businesses couldn't function without their software,computers,etc.. Technology has become a priority. From past experiences, I've learned that technology is VERY helpful. I think anyone would agree with me when I say it's so much easier to just log on google and ask a question then to look it up in a book (I do it all the time). Technology is used daily throughout schools in America so that tells you right there how important technology is if its brought into the education system. I've already learned several new things from my very own technology/computer class back at school. So that's a definite fact of the infinite learning possibilities with technology.
Even though technology's positives over weigh the bad, it also has its negative effects. I, myself have experienced this myself. Technology tends to lessen your social skills and also causes many social problems. For example, online cyber bullying. That problem never existed before computers & cellphones were brought into the picture. There are many positives and negatives with technology, I think everyone would agree with this!
