The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Writer's Memo: For my research paper, I would really like to discuss how modern technology is taking away our intelligence. I read a statistic the other day that read, 19% of child between the ages of two and four can operate an Iphone application, but only 9% can tie their shoes. This quote startled me and caused me to realize that we, as humans, are slowly loosing are ability to do simple tasks such as learning to tie our shoes. There is so much advanced technology out there now, that there is little we have to do for ourselves now. The Ipad is the new pen and paper. Laptops and computers spell out words for us. Even in all the hoopla, it gets bad. People have bags under their eyes from staring at screens. Arthritis is forming in the hands of excessive texters, young and old. I don't want to just rattle off reasons of why technology is bad. There are some positives as well. So, I will incorporate how technology is good while expressing the reasons why it is bad as well. I want people to realize how they are being affected by technology because, if they do not see it now, then it will only be worse for their children. Their children will eventually be sucked into the technology trap as well. I think that a good title for my paper is: Technology: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I think the title is a good way to present my topic that is respectful, but informative. The object is to inform. It is not to get people to stop buying new technology. I hope to open the eyes of those who think that technology is the best thing for us. My thesis statement will be something along the lines of: Today's technology is not only better than it was before, it is also worse.
