Living here in the United Stated of America our economy is heading down south because house mortgages are low, unemployment, and urging our citizens to spend money. Mostly every individual in the United States want to save money for their kid’s future or saving to have their expensive manufactured item like electronics, cars, and etc. Does our spending just deal with American popular culture?
Our popular culture makes the every American citizen unique because we spend our money on clothing, jewelry, and other merchandise just to make us who we are. Usually our spending is idiotic because we get items base on what we want, not what we need. Maybe, it’s the commercials that we see on television and persuading us to spend, spend and spend or it’s our own decision to make. When I go into an electronic store and say, “I think that television or stereo is broken inside the well packaged box.” I remember I received a present from my brother which was stereo. Stereos are not my kind of taste. I rather have an I-touch because I can carry music everywhere I go. I wasn’t satisfied getting a stereo because of the negative thoughts running through my head saying “I bet it’s broken”. We set up the stereo and fallowed the instructions that were given to us. Everything worked fine until we put a C.D disc in the stereo and it didn’t play. We clean the C.D and still it didn’t play. So the next day after Christmas we took it back and I exchanged it with an 8gigabite flash drive for school, headphones for my I-touch, and BOSE speakers for my laptop. When I went home and set up my speakers for my laptop. They didn’t work properly so, a week after that I return the speakers and got new ones. This time they worked fine. If the government wants us to spend money on products they should make satisfying merchandise’s or something that will work when you first set it up.
Technology has impact everyone in a good and bad way because we’re trying to cure cancer in labs, vehicles taking us to our jobs and computers for our education. When I think about technology I think about patients in the hospitals on the monitor, seat belts or Steven Hawking with his electronic voice synthesizer to communicate. Without technology where would we be? We would be walking 125 miles to see the Grand Canyon, can’t find the cure to diseases, and we would never made it to the moon. So I think the impact us somewhat in a good way. The bad way is where everyone doesn’t know how to use technology properly like texting while driving, nuclear bombs and being a gamer 24/7. If we can’t use technology properly, we pay the price like accidents, war, and destroying our eyes just to play a game on the television screen.
I think technology has impact everyone in different way because we don’t live the same life and we all have different point of views. Describing technology if it was good or bad should be coming from what we experience through this life.
