In the video ” Laws that Choke Creativity”, the main argument that was displayed was that human beings are incapable of doing anything for themselves anymore. Technology, while one of our biggest accomplishments, is also one of man kinds greatest downfalls. Unfortunately, technology has made people lazy. People lack communication skills because everything is verbalized through text (the slang kind at that). One drawback that arises from the constant texting, is that people’s grammar skills are diminishing. Another example that proves that technology is making people lazy is that most car owners cannot walk a block without complaining. I have seen it time and time again where car owners will drive their car to the corner store. Soon enough the side walk will be replaced with same level escalators so that no body will have to walk anywhere- a great invention indeed -___-. To me it is just sad how 90% of people will just about go bonkers if their phone was disconnected as opposed to running water. Technology in its advances may be a beautiful thing for mankind because it shows that we can do extraordinary things; but such extraordinary things are diminishing was man kind was brought up to be: social, interactive, and go getters, as opposed to just thinking everything was just going to be handed over to you.
I agree, technology has become the most important tool in people’s lives. For example, I use my phone for everything; to listen to music, for school, for work, my alarm clock, my reminders and special dates that I have when I need to get something done, my phone reminds me of it. On the other hand, this tool makes people lazy, it makes people not think because everything is done at the push of a button. Now a days people do not realize how easy we have it, how everything is much simpler now with technology; back then people didn’t have this wonderful thing called technology. They did everything by hand, everything was slower, everything took its time, patience, but at the end everything was worth it once the final result was made.
