Sunny is Great

I honestly appreciate technology almost everday. I appreciate how i can simply type words, call people, talk to peopel online, surf the internet, ride cars and buses, eat stuff out of fridge, and so on. However, technology does make people frustrated. For instance, just look at this blog. I merrily struggled with the blog very much. First the blog insisted on changing my password, and it kept on doing it saying that they promise that this is going to be the LAST TIME. Well, apparently, it was the last time and i repeated the process very diligently, until i did something that made it work like magic. It was until later that ms. porter solved the riddle for us. Edublog just didn’t like rememebering passwords..that was it! Yet, my eventful blog trip did not end here as even while i was writing the posts the page would go blank with few lines of technical gibberish, and it wouldn’t even post! and just now i couldn’t figure out how to change the font and font size for the previous post. I love blogging but i think that i will start to not like it if i have to toil to write just one poor written rant…

Well…enough complaining i secretly or publicly hope that the managers of edublog read that!) I know that the topic of technology is very cliche. Whether technolgy helped our lives seem to be continuously debated, but i feel like cliche today hehe. Well, my personal view is that technolgy is both beneficial and harmful (oo clliche). Without techonology our lives will not be like this. We wil be living less eventful and entertaining lives. Just think of life without tvs, internet, cellphone, movies, cars and planes.. how boaring. Of course, technology might have made our lives toooo eventful to the extent that many psychological ailments are manifesting the degtee. However, when we think about it, this really depends on control. Although i love to play with my computer and gaze not so brightly into the tv, i can make myself stop and read a book or go outside and sit in the not so natural nature.

Now, the cliche argument for those who are aggainst technology will be that technology makes people impersonal…This can be a valid argumentm, but the thing is that ppl don’t always talk to their friends on msn or text message them. When people need it they simply meet their friends. Frankly, just look around the streets there are so many people meeting people!! Just go into Starbuck and it will be evident… In fact, i think that technology is helping the relationships of people because it makes communication easier and faster.

So… i guess my argument is that technology is beneficial if you know how to use it properly.

Now i want to digress and talk about how i suddenly thought of this random topic…haha. These days i started to study for the SAT and one of the passages talked about technology. Honestly i really do not like passages related to technology or any other repetitive topics, and this passage was not that different. In fact, i thought that the reasoning was very weird. The author listened to a professor’s speech about how technology is drawing people apart and the author thought that the professor was being to romantic. Later that day he was eating lunch on a bench and met two friends talking to each of their phones. The author suddenly realizes that the professor was right, because he was so shocked that the two friends were merely sitting together but not having a conversation with each other. Well, firstly, i do not think that this is a very commom thing to happen. Also, the two might have been super busy, or simply maybe the two got phone calls at the same time. Moreover, you don’t really need to TALK the whole time when you are with your friend… I am sure that the author of this passage is a very wise and accomplished individual, but i just really could not understand the sudden realization… it did not feel like Newton’s apple in any way…

Once again stream of conciousness post i really need to fix this habit
