Criterion A; Technology as a blessing and a curse

In the olden times people did not have phones that they could carry around, or any kind of the technology we have today. In present times technology plays a big part in our lives, because of the technology we now have it is possible to play games with amazing graphics, call people from the other side of the world through phones that we can carry around, text our friends, make friends on a variety of different social media, but nowadays people don't seem to care about those things any more. It doesn't matter what kind of gadget you have, or its capabilities people always demand more!

Whenever something new comes out, a gadget of some sort, people are more than willing to discard their old gadgets and get the latest version of that gadget, and the cycle only continues as time goes on. It is a desire that can never be filled. People should be more grateful for what they have, even if it isn't the most recent gadget it still allows you to make calls and text people, isn't that what people had truly wanted from the beginning?

I feel that although technology has improved the lives of people it has also, in the process robbed us of our humanity, technology was never meant to rule the lives of people, it was made to help them!
Everybody dies at some point in time, it can happen to anyone at any time, on the day of your death what will you remember doing? Wasting your time watching youtube videos? Breaking your phones so your parents would get you a more recent one? What is the meaning of it all?

Life was supposed to be about making the most of the time you had on earth, whether it be spending your time with family, praying to god, it could be anything as long as you have done everything you wanted to do in life. We do not know when we will die that is why we want to make each day of our life precious, not just something we will forget doing the next day.

 The applications you have on your phone are worthless! Why are people so tied to their games? What is the point of them? Why can people never be grateful for what they have?

Have you ever asked yourself: Why am I not satisfied with what i have? Isn't what i have enough already?

To conclude, I believe that although technology is most certainly a blessing it's capabilities are taken for granted the moment a new gadget comes out.

Future Projects

In the future companies are planning to build new projects that could potentially change the world as we know it. In this blog entry i will share two projects that will be built in the next 10 years.


Driverless cars: Approximately 10 years from now, car companies are planning to manufacture a car that can move on its own. A prototype has already been made and has been tested. Here are some pros about the protype: If you managed to get a hold of it you do not have to bother taking a drivers test, and you don't have to drive yourself so it gives you an oppurtunity to relax. Cons are that the protypes distance is limited.
