Science and technology<br />
Our civilization will be destroyed by modern technology<br />
Our civilization started more than a million years ago and it is no secret that<br />
it is getting more and more difficult to live in. Why? Because we are blinded<br />
by all the technology. We only like new things, better things, things that are<br />
more shiny than the old ones and are more popular in the society. For so<br />
long people did not know any technology. They lived without electricity or<br />
television and their lives were just fine. Of course inventing new things like<br />
a train, a television, a radio, a telephone and others was a big success. But<br />
what happened when people realized that they needed more? Surely they<br />
started to connect to people all around the world<br />
and getting new information was not a problem<br />
anymore, but that just was not enough. So they started inventing smart<br />
phones, tablets, highly modern computers... and yet it still was not enough.<br />
Every day someone invents something new, every hour a new invention<br />
gets on the market, every minute someone buys that product and every<br />
second means just another chance for someone to make something new.<br />
And that just goes on and on because it is a vicious circle that never ends.<br />
So how can we make it better? We can all pretend that this does not<br />
bother or concern us, but at one point we have to admit to ourselves<br />
that something has to change. We have to make life fun again. Without<br />
phones and other technology. We have to start talking to each other again.<br />
For start just put your phone down. Look up, talk to a stranger, smile to<br />
someone who looks sad, help your schoolmate with his/her homework. Be<br />
a person who does not need all that technology to be happy. However, do not get me wrong. I do not<br />
mind technology. I think it is a great way to connect to people and to make memories. But I just think<br />
that once in a while you should just stop looking at your phone and try to be present. Be someone who<br />
has lots of new ideas for the world, but is determined not to be destroyed by all the new technology. Be<br />
inventive, but be yourself.<br />
