Technology: Knowing Your Limits

Nowadays instead of going home with an interim, we save money and have to go online to view it. this is only one of the changes in our ever evolving world of technology. but like almost every other thing in this world it has it's pros & cons. i mean nowadays our parents can dreadfully check our grades online. which saves more time then scheduling a conference with teachers as it used to be. but even if we can chat with our cousins in china, we tend to rely on tech way too much. one problem is that we tend to want to text rather than text on the phone. that's even too much unless you're miles away. we're losing the sense to communicate to each other face to face not text the person right next to you. when's the last time you and you're hands actually "chilled out" instead of "skyping". then again there are the things you write/type that express a broader meaning than when you speak those words. see emails are like letters and the internet is your mail carrier. Facebook for example allows us to meet people from all around the world. and now there is virtual reality applications which allow us to be anything we want in the fantasy lands. we can also read literature without even going to the library now. but technology is power. and as peter parker's dying uncle said"with great power come great responsibility".  so please try and learn the limits of using it too much. matter fact i want to see you try& last a week with out tech. I dare you.
