Technology

I looked up in homeroom a couple of days ago and, I kid you not, every single student had their head down and was glaring into the screen of their phone. Every single student, probably 15 or so were entranced and there was little to no talking going on. This is not right. Technology should never be this kind of a thing, that is accessed at all times of the day, anywhere, everywhere. I pride myself on not having to take out my phone every minute of every day, but I am often tempted. The effect of technology in society is everywhere, you just have to look up. What surprised me the most was not the fact that the students were all on their phones, but that my 2 homeroom teachers were both on their phones as well, looking at sports and what not. It has become too much. Not only does it annoy me greatly, but it also worries me. What does the future hold? If we have made such a big jump in such a short time, how is technology going to play into my life 20 years from now? What about 50 years? It is incredible to think about the endless potential, but equally scary to think about the possible trouble that can come with this technology.
