Greetings

Hope you've all been well. To update on my cold I will say that I believe this one is almost gone. It's such a great annoyance when you have a cold but once it's gone you feel so great. Colds are odd things in that way.

There are many things on my mind right now but I think the first thing that popped into my head was technology. Technology is great, don't get my wrong, by technology can cause problems. If it weren't for technology I wouldn't be writing this blog, but if we didn't have technology our planet wouldn't be so poluted. Now I know that this subject is a very controversial one so I would like to say that the opinion herein is solely mine. Back to the topic at hand. At any point today I'm sure that you have been in some sort of contact with technology. Whether it's was your car, or even your wrist watch. I have no problem with technology, however I do not lime the amount of polution that is produced by technology. Something I have recently learned is that to make a Toyota Prius is less enviromentaly friendly than to drive a Range Rover. This is one of my favourite examples of technology's polution.

But it's not just the harmful nature if technology to our planet. Technogy can harm us humans too. It's not bad enough that technology has a negative effect on us, but the things that hurt us most are the most common items. For example a cell phone, my sister has hers out constantly. This isn't good for her, it can have adverse effects on her health. I don't think that the government should allow devices such as cell phones for the sole reason that they cause so much harm. Of course cell phones are helpful in our everyday socialization, but they aren't that helpful to our much more important health.

I can't speak for everyone on this last issue but it seems to me that some people are addicted to technology. I'm sure that if you took away certain peoles' computers they would wither. Because of all of the technology that has been available to us we tend to rely on it. An example is yesterday during school. My science teacher had to cancel her lesson simply because of a power outage. The outage had been caused by the heavy rain we'd been having. It's the small things lime this that really say how much we're dependent on technology. When it comes down to it we really can't rely on our computers to get things done. Sometimes we can't be afraid to do things ourselves someti we we have to get our hands dirty. Lastly we need to not rely on something that cannot be garanteed.
