This made me rethink my question and led me to agree with what my group members were saying. In the modern society were technology is commonplace and accessible, many of our decisions are based off of what computers tell us. Even our identities are controlled through computers through our social security numbers or ID numbers. These numbers are assigned by society in order for computers to easily keep track of information about each citizen that resides in a particular state or country. On a more personal scale, whenever a person creates a social networking account, they identify themselves on the net by what they choose to reveal or say about themselves. Then people around the world will solely identify that person by what they see on their computer and not take the effort to know more about the person other than what is written on their screen.
This is an interesting thing to think about. Many people think that technology has overrun the lives of human beings. I feel that this is true in some ways. For example, for jobs, you did not need to use much technology. All you had to do was you job manually and you were done. Nowadays, you have to use technology a LOT in the world of business. You probably cannot go a single day without going on the computer.
On another note, many people are addicted to games. So many video game consoles and games are coming out these days, and more and more people are getting addicted to them. One man has even gone so far as to marry the girl in his game. This is kinda of a scary fact. We even watched a video in Sutherland’s class talking about the video games usage in the human race, and how that number is increasing and increasing. At the rate this is going, the whole human species may become addicted to games. Also, as Crystal said, right now, even if there are people not addicted to playing video games, there are a LOT of people addicted to social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.
