The Industrial Revolution altered life for those in the 18th century in a profound way. No longer were people working with their hands using intense labor to complete a task. The ability for machinery to do the work of an individual at an alarming ease, must have been stunning to behold. Today our world is experiencing the same type of Revolutionary awakening. This revolution is one which is not only changing mankind’s physical output, but mental output as well. In essence the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, may well one day be looked at as a Technological Revolution.
The use of the internet has sparked a multitude of inventions and uses. Since the years when I was a teenager to what life is like for my son , every home has a computer, most family members carry cell phones, Iphones, Ipods, lap tops, and other gadgets of communication or entertainment. The short movie labeled Did you Know? is a prime example of how much life has changed in the last 30 years. It is strange to realize we as humans are becoming outdated as technology surpasses our own intelligence and abilities at an increasing rate. As the movie indicated we are outdated before we will even graduate from U.S.A. I believe technology is a great additive to life and has given human beings many luxuries. However, this video for me was a striking reminder of how much human relationships, work ethics, marketability, and individual worth has been altered due to technology. What will our grandchildren's sociological capabilities be, when technology in a sense is taking over human need to have a meaningful debate or conversation. Children are becoming technological junkies, and missing the point of how technology is meant to enhance our lives.
