Over the fourth of July holiday I noticed so much about technology around me. My friends and I went to the Fireworks show in Idaho Falls and everywhere I walked there were people of every sort, rich, poor, you name it, had cell phones or ipods. There was music blasted everywhere I walked, it was incredible. I honestly don't know how we used to function or get a hold of someone before the days of cell phones.
I think that people are beginning to develop poorer interpersonal skills because of technology though. Now, instead of talking to a person you text them. Or rather than talking with friends you play games on your iphone with them. My friend had a game on his iphone that I used to play with little plastic cars! It blows my mind how much technology is changing and how far it has come in the last 10 years!
Also, I realized that I don't like driving in the car unless my ipod is plugged in or the radio is on. Even if it's turned down or if I'm having a conversation with someone I still like the radio on. I think that I've become so used to always having something on whether I'm getting ready for my day or falling asleep, so silence has begun to scare me. Which is sad, because silence can be really good.
