The Years to Come...
In order to be successful in the years to come, everyone will need to be familiar with technology. Particularly communications media. Systems such as twitter, facebook, and skype are easy ways to communicate with people all over the globe, and they won't be dying off any time soon. Businesses use facebook and twitter to advertise and give information, classrooms can use skype to communicate across the country. Technology is becoming more prevelant in today's society and in order to succeed, everyone will need to be adept in the use of technology. We live in the era of information, where computers control almost everything. The skills of the mechanical age are becoming less useful in today's world. People don't need to work on assembly lines anymore, they need to be able to run the computers that manage the assembly lines. People need to be able to troubleshoot their computers and know how to fix rudimentary problems. Our generation is certainly adept in the field of technology. Most teenagers know more about computers than their parents, and a good portion of teenagers have built their own computers. Outside of being taught how to type and run the Microsoft Office programs, most of the knowledge to run and fix technology comes from experience. Reading the wikipedia page on how to program a certain function is the way of learning. Sooner or later, everyone will need to be able to understand their computers, because they are becoming the backbone of our world.

I completely agree with Lukas-- technology is an omnipresent force in our world and is likely to grow even larger over the years. I also think that the Earth's natural resources will be depleted (forests, wildlife, etc.) and we will live, work, and play in concrete and plexiglass jungles. Communication and transportation are also likely to have evolved greatly. In some cases, this may be negative, leading to us becoming more and more dependent on our gadgets and devices and minimizing old school face-to-face interaction.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Lucas 100 percent. As we go further into the future the technology will become more extreme, and as Lucas said “Technology is becoming the backbone of our world.” Almost every business has an advertisement on facebook, or twitter. I was watching a T.V. show called “Swamp People,” and it’s about men catching alligators and selling them to make their living. After the show ended it said like our page on facebook. Some of the new phones can do more things than some of the best computers can do, and maybe even do them better. As technology gets smarter people will not have to do handwork, or physical work, but they will just have to type something in on a computer and it will do it for them. And as technology advances, the years to come people will get dumber and dumber. They will not know how to do anything because they don’t have the experience to do anything but push buttons.
