One thing I noticed in our clas the other day is the surprising amount of people who watched their "television" online. It made me consider a book I read in highschool, which i wrote a couple of quotes out of
"Advanced technology is itself brainwashing us to believe in technology. For every styep forwards we take with technology, we lose two steps from somewhere else"
Now for the love of Pete I can not remember the name of the book, and I am only slightly sure that it was written by George Hayduke, so please don't quote me on that, but the idea i completely agree with. We are so hooked into believing that new technology is better that we never stop to think about where we would be without it. Nor has many people considered if new computers are actually better, only that they are more accepted. FOr example
A. has anyone considered how few Computer viruses there were in the 90's? Read more . . .
B. everytime a new operating system comes out, how long does it take to get all the bugs out?
c. How many times do computers (which we almost are required to own to stay in school) crash? and how much stress do they cause to get them fixed?
