are we to dependent on technology?


Yes we are to dependent on technology, especially in the field of communicating, so yes i do agree. schools are becoming more and more dependent on technology, most of the students work is done virtually so they don't even know what a text-book and a pen feel like anymore. technology is ruining everyone's social skills because you don't have to talk face to face over the internet so it's easier to communicate so when it comes time to actually meet in person you don't know what to do. I think we shouldn't be so dependent on technology, we need to go back to simpler times.image url: http://bluenickelstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/snail-mail-email-explained.jpg

Safety of our personal information on the internet

In the article that i found, they talk about how nothing on the internet is safe from hackers and thieves. Hackers can use a simple computer to hack anyones bank accounts or any other account. A virus that took down a whole nuclear power plant in Iran recently escaped onto the internet and infected over 100,000 computers and this just means that our power grids, transportation and water distribution systems are at risk to be hacked. Reading over this article and seeing all the recent hackings makes me believe that instead of advancing in technology I think we should go back to the original methods of things where they were harder to get stolen. everyone who uses a computer is at risk of getting everything they have on the internet taken from them and i think that, that is just to
much of a risk to take.
