The world seems to have gone crazy with technology. Especially the whole text message thing. My best friend was actually in a car accident a while ago cause by checking a text on her cell phone, she rolled her car on the highway, in the end she was fine, but talk about the dangers of "autotexting". It's amazing to think that something as basic as a text message can make us do things that in danger the lives of ourselves and others. Technology seems to play a large role in controlling our communication habits, causing relationships to be digital and making in person contact almost obsolete. Technology is also controlling the way we live, in a lot of cases taking the place of decision making and free will, only giving us computer programmed options to choose from. At the same time, technology is allowing us as the human race to accomplish things we never thought possible, allowing us to better ourselves and our society. I guess the question is, like you said, are we going to far? and how will we know if or when we do... Hopefully someone can find an answer, and allow the world of technological and human progress to flourish as a whole. Wow, i totally agree your whole post.

The computers in the bar kinda shock me, but yet, I should expect it in this day and age. I think computers in the bar make it easier for anyone to be a bartender, but then what about those people who take the bar tending course? Does that mean that they will be out of a job because anyone can just be a bartender ( who is of age of course). This idea scares me because what if technology of our future cuts out teachers, just like technology has minimized factory workers? I recgonize the advancements of technology but I can't help but wonder if it is going over board? I enjoyed your blog about computer crazyness.

I CAN'T GET A HOLD OF YOU! lol BRIANNE!
