Our Latest Update

This thesis statement reflects a growing trend of topics I have been noticing, not just in my English class but many more aspects of my life. That is the fact that many believe that technology is taking over too much of our lives. It’s obvious when you see people who are unable to remove themselves from their smartphones long enough to eat an entire meal or a person who cannot go a single day without checking their email. I am going to be perfectly honest; there is no way to tell how much we have been changed by our technology. It goes without saying that it has changed us but we can’t know how much or if it’s for the better. One of my favorite sayings is that hindsight is twenty twenty. People are excellent at looking back over there past and deciding what was right or wrong about it but that is not the case when it comes to the future or even our present. The simple fact is that new technology is going to continue to emerge and it is going to keep changing us as a whole. Think of how much the invention of fire helped the Neanderthal of or how much women’s suffrage changed our world. All we can hope to do is keep our eyes open and wait for that hindsight to start kicking in and then try to fix whatever damage we have done before we are all floating around in space. This goes to show another old adage that does not inspire much confidence in the certainty of our future, and that is that we like to learn things the hard way.
