Assignment 2 - Haley Drake

I'd say technology is definitely more of a good thing than a bad thing. I wouldn't say it's affected me in any majorly positive way - I could live without it. But things have been made so much easier because of recent technology. I can go from one side of the Earth to the other in a day, I live in a comfortable house with clean water at my finger tips. Even in the last 20 years, the internet allows for any information I could possibly need to be accessed in a matter of seconds. That's why right now is the time period I would most prefer to live in. I can interact with my friends, even those that live 10 hours away. And I can learn anything at any time, even outside of school or a library. Personally, my favorite influence technology has had is its influence on music, and the fact that I can listen to pretty much any music that's ever been published by going on the internet. That fact alone has changed so much about the world and entertainment. Generally, any person who yells at their local young people about how technology has ruined the world is just understandably afraid of the change that's happened in the world.
