As much as I love the benefits of technology, I also love to hate it. It's a common stereotype that the older generation doesn't know how to work technology. So call me middle aged too because I am just as confused. There is rarely a day where my computer doesn't freeze, my iTunes fails, and word is not impossible to understand. Does this make me dumb? No. All I have to do, somewhat ironically, is look up how to fix all the problems on my computer! Great! Right? Technology, it helps me, is also a hiding place. No longer do I have to deal with awkwardness. I simply just pretend I got a text. No longer do I have to talk to pretend to be asleep when I don't want to talk to people. I can just be on my phone. There's nothing wrong with technology, but as a people, I think we are all getting too attached. People my age don't even put phones in their pockets anymore. There's not one time I'm with my friends when we are not on our phones. Children have started to play on iPads more than playing hand games like slide. Frankly I think technology makes life boring and dull.
