EMBRACE IT

I think that society should embrace it, the times have changed and this is what were use to now. Although, it seems as if we've all become lazy and dependent on our technology devices, it's what we kn0w. If the rewind button was pressed and we had to go back to old ways we would all sit in confusion, so why refuse our embedded ways. we love them, we work for them, and they work for us, literally. In the reading, it mentioned that, these improvements and advanced devices are " extensions of man" which is so true. No one walks around with a phone book in their pockets or purses, instead we prefer our reliable cell phone and not just any phone but the ones that allows you to search the web, pay your bills, listen to music and more. Once again, that creates a visual of laziness.....who likes unneeded labor? No one, so if inventors keep creating easier devices we want them....and now that im writing and listening to myself i feel as though we've become brain dead to work...we dont know how to do for ourselves anymore......in the past if someone wanted to figure out how to make something they would do trial and error of this and that, but now i just pull it up off the internet. For example, my grandmother use to make her own soap wihout any instructions or use of internet, and now thats pretty much impossible to a current generation being. ...so is it true that "we are giving up on wisdom?" maybe but, I still say embrace it
