Technology's impact on us

The question for today is will technology connect or conquer us. Many of the adults now- a-days feel as if todays youth have an unhealthy dependence on technology. In some respects that accusation is justified. There are many people that cannot go two minutes without their phone. However todays day and age has adapted to incorporate technology into it. Schools are using ipads and computers, you can now pay with your phone or smart watch, and you can also talk to someone of your family on the other side of the world.

I believe that technology will eventually conquer us, but not necesarily in a bad way. Different technology companies like apple are coming out with different ways to incorporate technology into peoples lives. I believe that we will be completely dependent on technology. I don't think that normal human interactions like face to face with family and friends will go away because we will all be using technology together. We will be able to be with eachother but be connected somewhere else. Normal human interactions will not be lost, just enhanced in a way.

We as humans have the innate nature of advancing in society and technology whenever possible. We cannot stop advancement. We have to adapt to it.
