Final

In the speedy world we live in information travels at the speed of light. Something that you learn today may not be true tomorrows. We learn something new every day but what we learn changes all of the time. New things are being discovered, disproven, and discarded every second. The Internet has all of the answers, but sometimes they don't have the entire answer.

Being a student, I learn a lot in a school year. I try to remember it all but its hard. So I use the Internet to store/find all of the information. Sometimes I'll even use my phone to store info. I try not to use digital equipment to often though. It's very unreliable and cannot be trusted. There's nothing like good old fashioned paper. The only way that's going away is if we run out of trees (which may happen soon).

I myself do own a phone. It's the only thing that I use to get ahold of people (aside from my friend in another state that doesn't have a phone, in that case I use the U.S. Postal Service). In all reality I don't like my phone. It's a waste of good metal and energy. I also don't trust it. Due to the fact that it's a computer and can download updates it could become intelligent and decide to ruin my life. But anyway, it's a piece of digital equipment and it is used by all of the little children now-a-days.

Computers are one of the most used pieces of equipment in the world (I actually think it is). I don't like it (If you haven't noticed, I really don't like technology). Computers are moving faster then humans ever could. They can think faster, work more, and do everything more efficiently. Computers (and other machines) replace human workers every day. More people have lost jobs to computers then people lost jobs in the Great Depression.

Technology is the bain of my existence. A world without these things would be alright. I'd like to have something I know to be relevant for the next 10 years rather then the next 10 minutes. In all reality I would have to constantly go to school for the rest of my life to keep up with the information flow of the Earth. It sucks and I really don't like it.
