Effects Of Technology On Everyday Life

     Everyone in the world is aware of the latest technology, from the new Iphone 6, to the Surface Pro 3. The next generation of children say they can't live without their Galaxy Note 3's, Ipads, and other gadgets. The kids today will never know what the 90's kids had to go through, with our Motorola flip phones, GameBoy Advance SP's, and poorly animated TV shows. Technology has greatly impacted the lives of the next generation, but it has also made this generation dependent on things that we would have never thought we would be dependent on. 
     Now we anticipate the next release of an Iphone, 3DS, Tablet, and so on. We crave for the next contract upgrade to get a bigger and better phone, but what happened to the good old days where technology was still at its infancy? Where we weren't so dependent on it to do the simple daily things like exercise, eat right, remember a birthday, or spell something correctly? What ever happened to writing everything down on a post-it note or looking something up in a physical dictionary? 
      Today, technology reminds us. Facebook notifies us when someone has a birthday, Iphones or Smartphones remind us to do things that we forget to do, and we can look up the spelling of a word on Microsoft or just type it into Google. Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong time, I would be completely fine with going back to the basic technology. I would rather go play with Linkin' Logs than play with a game on a Smartophone or Tablet. 
     Well then, What do you think about today's Technology? Submit your answer in the comments, I'd love to know what you think.
