Technology
Technology, and what we think of as "modern technology", changes incredibly quickly. 10 years ago cell phones were only toys of the rich. Now over 4 billion people in the world have access to cell phones. Computers, and the way we use the internet, are changing just as rapidly. Take a couple of minutes to write about one or all of the following questions.
- How does technology affect your everyday life?
- Is there any modern technology you can't live without?
- What do you think will be considered "modern technology" ten years from now? What about 50 years from now?
- Have our technological advancements caused more good or more harm in the world? Why?
