Explaining My Interest

Technology is fascinating.  Being able to be connected to anyone, anywhere, anytime is a pretty astonishing feat.  Technology is constantly changing to keep up with the times, and new upgrades and versions of software are coming out seemingly almost every month.  There are so many types of technology, and it is changing so quickly that some people cannot even keep up.  Older technology, even technology that is one or two years old, is becoming obsolete, and newer, better technology is becoming the norm.  Ask almost anyone what kind of phone they have, and a large majority if people will respond with a smart phone.  Of course, there are some people who choose not to keep up with technology for one reason or another.  Perhaps, they do not want to learn the new technology and are happy with what they are used to, or perhaps some people simply do not have the money to purchase the latest technology.  I find it fascinating that nothing stays the same for long in regards to technology, and everything is constantly being updated or upgraded.  Children in first grade have phones now, and some young kids know how to use this ever evolving technology better than their parents.  It is bewildering how society changes based on technology.  Younger and younger generations are receiving better and better technology, and it is what they are used to.  This invented technology is literally reshaping people, even causing some to lose valuable skills.  New technology is being created everyday, and people are willing to spend more and more money to make sure they have the latest and greatest phone or laptop, whatever technology they crave.  I agree that technology is important and very useful in today's day and age, but I feel that technology has taken over the lives of many.  Many people are losing or simply not learning social skills, and people do not know how to talk face to face anymore.  Professional writing is becoming weaker because of the huge reliance on texting and texting slang.  The force of technology has redefined the world and who we are as individuals.
