Did You Know?

The presentation was shocking to hear the statistics, however it is believable. Today's technological society is moving faster than ever imagined. The way society today relies on computers and cell phones has changed tremendously over the years. In a way going to the library and using books for research is outdated. All you have to do now is sit at the computer and it will pull up everything you need, and more. Fifty years ago people would not have thought about meeting someone on the internet; now couples are finding the perfect match online and getting married. The world that we live in has become a technology dependent world.

No matter where you go in public you will more than likely see someone either on the cell phone, or sending a text message. When the total text messages sent per day is greater than the number of people on the planet, it really surprises you. To know that China will soon speak English better than the U.S. is depressing. How can a foreign country speak our language better than us? The population growth of the world is growing faster and faster as we speak. It seems that technology and population is growing fast, but is it growing too fast? The fact that a computer that has the computational capabilities of the human species is in the process of being invented is overwhelming. What do we need it for? Taking all this information in at once really makes you understand one of the main things the world revolves around today, technology.
