Your Friendly Neighborhood BIG BROTHER

"A little commerical can make my point clear..."

    Today, technology is rapidly advancing.  It seems that everyone has a cellphone, an i-pod, an x-box 360, or a television set or two.  People feel the need to have these necessities.  We must adapt to this new technology or else we won't be able to function...or that's what people say.  This is true, but when you think about it...do we really need technology?  What I mean is, do we need things like FaceBook or Skpe for survival although these things are very nice to have?  Our ancient ancestors didn't have these things, but they survived or else we wouldn't be here.  One thing that I don't like about technology is that "Big Brother" vibe.  I feel as if though technology is kind of a distraction (a nice one at that) that controls us and makes us dumber.  I'd hate to say that, because certain things in life suck, I love being distracted and I want to be entertained by addicting things such as Jersey Shore or Call of Duty: World at War.  So, in a sense, I don't mind technology...it's just how it's abused that gets me.
