Technology is good...or is it?

For thousands and thousands of years this world stood without us, void of any worries. It was truly paradise here on earth. There was no fear of humans and what they could do to destroy this wonderful place. There was only earth's natural elemental enemies. Plants and animals found their own way to survive but did this without destroying this precious earth. They survived through their own natural means-not by destroying the ozone, ripping up the land, causing massive pollution, which in turn causes disease and famine. Nature did what it had to for survival, but we as a people today don't do it for survival. Well, we did once, maybe, a long time ago, but then our ancestors got hungrier and the hungrier they got the worse it became. Maybe at one time it was for the mere thought of staying warm and well fed, but we are far beyond those needs now. Our ancestors couldn't stay where they were, no, they had to venture outward to what else they could find. In a way, they got bored, and this boredom led to war, abuse, slavery, hunger and whatever else you can think of.
This past hundred years or more has made the human race real busy. Our ancestors urge to push forward-MORE! MORE! MORE! has now led to us. What our ancestors were is not what we have become. We have become something far worse. We can blame them, but we are supposed to be learning from our past WRONG! We haven't learned anything except to keep fighting forward for what has now become MINE! MINE! MINE!
Maybe our ancestors thought Technology would be good, that it would move us forward, improve us, make us better, but no, we are now lost in the Ipod shuffle. You think it would be better-a world where communication is rampant, we can talk to people all over the world using telephone, e-mail, webcam and instant messaging. I see all this, and I pay attention, and I see that this has made it worse somehow. Everywhere I go, someone has their ear to the phone or earphones up to the ears, and if you look back and really visualize it all, it's somewhat frightening. We are loosing touch with our everday world that is right in front of us. Not only that, but we have lost touch with so many other things as well. Many of us depend on microwaves to cook, televisions to babysit and phones to keep tabs on what everyone else is doing while we ourselves walk around in some sort of labyrinth, thinking we know what's going on but really, many of us don't. I am so glad that there are still a few wise people out there that can still find their way amidst it all.
What would happen if we ever lost all this technology we have come to depend on? Sure, there are those who may have seen it coming or were wise enough to not depend solely on it and will triumph over the ones that didn't really care and never learned how to truly survive. Yet, so many will inevitably perish in it's downfall. Someday we may have to learn to live at one with nature and realize it should have been something we had learned to do a long time ago.
