iwrite - Kevin LaZur

         I think my stance on technology must be that it benefits us. I say this because I'm doing my assignment at 11:30 Sunday night on my cell phone. Without the technological advancements we have today I couldn't procrastinate nearly as well; a short time ago (before smartphones) I would have had to use the computer to submit this, and likely get chastised by my parents for staying up late.
         Technology gives us opportunity. The glorious internet is indicative of this fact. It gives us a new perspective on life, whether it's staying up later to do an assignment or effectively organizing 4 classrooms of students to submit weekly assignments. Since I only picked how technology has benefitted humans, I won't delve into the other end of the spectrum which the opportunity for potential evil, and other minor attrocities, is possible through our connectedness as a society via the internet.
         It feels naive to refer to immediately the internet when talking about new technology. Plenty of modern inventions have no need for the internet in their use. But I guarantee that the internet took part of their creation. I insist that technology gives us opportunity. The opportunity for greatness doesn't come without a price.
