The past 2 days in class, we watched a movie about technology and the digital age. The most interesting thing I learned was the fact that the military is no longer what it used to be. Instead of being up in an airplane, the men are sitting in computers pushing a button, which explodes a bomb and kills hundreds of people a thousand miles away from them. It's such a cruel way to put things, because pushing a button doesn't give you the grief that being in a plane dropping the bomb from a mile in the air does.
I find the digital age very disturbing. I feel that high technology should only be used for medical purposes and other government aspects. in additon, I really feel that all of this high techie stuff is causing obesity. and, in 20 years, every house will have a programmed computer in it, so when you're sitting on the couch watching a movie, you're computer maid named bertha will bring you a sandwich.... sound delightful? well, maybe to an extent we can have these types of luxuries, but I think all these new things just have the word "LAZY" written all over them. the thought of running a mile causes people to sweat just thinking about it. comment how you feel about the situation.
