I think it is because, if you notice all the children of this generation, can't seem to live without their e-mail, mp3 players,video games... ect. We've become a society completely dependent on technology, computers, cellphones... everything else... I don't care to list...

YES, I do. What with computers with spellcheck and calculators and e books to the mundane, like fuel-powered cars and home heating units (gas packs), we are becoming horribly lazy and dumb, as well as depleting our natural resources. Thank god my parents never let me use a calculator until I got to Trignometry and I went through school before spellcheck was hugely popular. Not to mention the advent of email has spawned a generation of kids who have no clue when it comes to capitalization or punctuation, and don't care, because in instant messaging and emails, it's "accepted" not to care. I don't think kids even diagram sentences in school any more!
Yeah, my youngest of two starts kindergarten this year, and I don't care if the teachers hate me, but I'm a real back-to-basics mom. Don't have my kids playing on a computer for two hours a day and then have them come home not knowing how to make a paper airplane or climb the jungle gym. We're breeding a new generation of antisocial freaks who will not know how to interact with someone unless it's through Bill Gates' demon seed (a PC or the like).

Yes, in ways, but in ways not.
People say that we will not go beyond what we are now if we keep abusing technology. While it is true we are losing the few physical adaptations we have, technology allows us to expand our mental capacity. Without our improved intelligence, we probably wouldnt have made it past the stone age. But some technology has only short term benefits, but then just make us lazier and more dependant. At least, those are a few of my veiws on the topic.
Oh, and by the way, stop with all the junk food. Its not healthy.

Now this is a true Luddite question. It must make the Luddite-in-chief very proud to read. Do you wish to give up medical advances, too? I believe you are female, do you wish to die in the agony of childbirth like your sisters of old ?
Do you wish to wear old fashion clothes and drive in a horse and buggy? Do you wish to die of some curable disease because technology is too advanced?
The main purpose of humankind is to advance the thinking and the technology of humankind. It is true that the solution of every problem seems to create two more problems but we will find solutions for them and their 4 more problems. The only sure thing in life is change (except from a vending machine). You changed the world by your presence and will change it again by your absence. The glass of life is half full and rising. Go fetch a bucket! Please be careful with depression I wish you no ad homium but be careful.

Yes. I think our ability to know what is happening around the world the instant it happens is very unnatural. There have always been wars but before global communication they would not or could not have been on the level they are now with people butting into other people's battles throwing whole new populations at risk of retaliation and sometimes leaving their own country unprotected while they go fight across the globe.

I disagree. Mankind is a really adaptable animal, and at the same time as technological improvements have brought about upheavals contained in the previous, i don't think of that human civilization universal has declined after them. operating example: the business revolution contained in the previous due 18th and early nineteenth centuries brought some tremendous variety of human beings to offer up agricultural existence for factories. there turned right into a era of time the position the stability of ability shifted from royalty to merchants and manufacturers, yet we survived that and went on. operating circumstances greater, and that i ought to argue that civilization did not cave in or perhaps decline. an same ought to correctly be stated for the second one business revolution that surpassed off about the starting up of the 20 th century. autos, assembly strains, etc. created massive quantities of change. Did civilization cave in? i imagine you do not supply sufficient credit to the adaptability of mankind. each and every significant progression causes some ripples to spread with the aid of society, yet universal, we've adapted and moved on. certain, some communities and some elements did not fare so properly, yet on the completed, mankind become extra effective off.

people may be a little bit lazier.... and I think in a few years time there will be no such thing as "Hard Yakka" or a hard days work!
But you got to embrace technology or you will get left behind.... plus they are doing awesome things with cars!
