Yeah... yeah... I know technology makes aspects of our lives easier and it also helps to prolong our lives but I can't help but feel like we are loosing something in the process. People are becoming more compulsive, impatient, and as a result lacking in self-control. Studies show that a greater number of people are feeling lonely each year despite our massive network and telecommunications systems setup to connect everyone. It seems as though the majority of people are forgetting how to interact with one another and would rather stare in front of a glowing tube. Where do you think all of this will lead?
If your wondering where this question is coming from, I graduated with a B.S. in Network Technologies but feel a lack of meaning while being in the field. Money and curiousity is not enough for me. I need to know that what I did while being on this planet helped people rather than destroy them in the long run.

Maybe thats just not the field for you. Maybe you dont even like technology. Maybe you want to go to the country and milk cows by hand like people used to do long time ago. Who Knows...All I know is that if you feel empty and this way about technology, then you should consider something else.

Computers aren't leading us anywhere -- they're inanimate objects incapable of leadership of any kind.
You state, "People are becoming more compulsive, impatient, and as a result lacking in self-control," but do now show or explain any relationship to this and computers. Ditto for your other claims.
Where is the cause & effect relationship? Simply stating it doestn't make it so.

It was once that societies created a super style of rules that folk would desire to no longer stay devoid of breaking rules. Then the persons might have the skill to survive by employing breaking those rules and at last overthrowing the regulation-certain government. Now technologies helps governments with sufficient funds to demonstrate screen all communications, economic transactions, and at last all flow by using monitoring the region of cellular telephones and autos. technologies additionally helps a central authority to create psychological profiles on everyone by employing analyzing their purchases and activities. those psychological profiles, like those the army creates, will enable governments to concentration their attentions on human beings probable to greenback the gadget, or perhaps arrest human beings "formerly they commit crimes" against the society/government. My historical past to assert this: 19 years as a application engineer, a level in information, modeling and projections, and a 2nd masters in the scientific field. If i'd desire to layout and write this application, somebody else is effective to have seen it and is or would be writing it. friendly goals.
