Is technology taking over humanity?

By Samuel Vargas, Class of 2015

As seen in movies like The Terminator, and what they say that “technology will soon take over humanity”, I believe that our reality  is finally catching up to these times. Technology is taking over.

Ever since the invention of technology, people have been more and more attracted to it. Now, in the 21st century, things are getting more advanced. Look at the Xbox and Playstation for example, they have been getting more advanced each year. First they add wireless remotes, then they add blue ray on them, and now the Kinect, which is a device that lets you be the remote. But not just game systems, it’s everything; the Kindle will replace books, the iPhone and iPad replaced computers, Blue Ray replaced DVDs, not fully yet, but it’s getting there.

And don’t forget about the new touch technology that with a simple touch you can do everything. The worst is that now they are making hand-free cars which park themselves! You see the world change everyday, but now your life is changing.

It might be a good thing that technology has improved to help us, but is it helping us too much?
