Throughout history, technology has been viewed as a tool primarily intended to aid in our survival, but throughout the last 50 years or so technology has accelerated to the point of transcending even this need.
Increasingly, much of our technology serves only as a social luxury. Yet with each passing year it becomes interwoven into the fabric of society. We’ve let it into our homes, into our schools, and we’ve given it to our children.
Do we run technology, or does it run us? The world is becoming more and more impersonal by the day, transitioning away from meaningful face-to-face social interaction. In the younger generations this will continue to become more and more apparent if nothing is done.
Technology needs to be viewed as an amazing educational tool, not a toy for constant entertainment.
