Have you ever considered what would happen if technology failed?
What would you do without your cell phone, TV, or computer?
What would you do without the internet to solve your problems?
What would you do without your game console, iPod, or electricity?
Do you think you could survive; gather and hunt your own food? Could you find clean water? Are we so involved with our technologies that we have lost our ability to survive without them? In my opinion the answer is yes, many people have lost the ability to live without them. Without fuels or electricity agriculture would fail, and if agriculture fails there is nothing to eat. Can you imagine people from large cities wandering around looking for food?
I’m not saying this would happen, all I’m trying to say is we need to learn to problem solve without the help of Google. We need to be able to critically examine real life situations. We need to be able to communicate in ways other than text, emails, or social networking. Whatever happened to a handshake and face-to-face conversation?
Even though technology makes our lives easier and more comfortable, I firmly believe that we must retain some skills from a time when these options were not available. These skills may make you a more rounded person with abilities that others from our generation might not have. And this could separate you from the crowd.
