Are We Too Reliant on Technology?
On Friday, my computer died, the hard drive popped its clogs. Funnily enough, I saved most of my documents onto my memory sticks the day before it died, phew! What's more, my dad ordered me a new computer that same day. My computer hadn't been right for a while, it was running extremely slow and programs kept freezing. It was almost as though my computer was just holding on until backups were in place, quite odd, don't you think?
I got that computer for my sixteenth birthday, that was four years ago now, so I think it's done very well!
But do you think we are too reliant on technology? My answer is, quite possibly. We use technology for everything these days! Most things are online now, online shopping, online banking, online surveys, and that's only a few that I can think of off the top of my head. There are a lot more! Take NASA for example, I think NASA has one hundred times more computing power than what's in my house, maybe even more! What would happen if all the computers at NASA crashed? I think we would have a lot of trouble, don't you?
What would you do if technology didn't exist?
