Technology does take away human
initiative in many ways. One way that technology has taken away from human
initiative is that it takes away from humans doing physical things, for example
many kids these days donÕt want to go outside and play , and maybe use some of
there imagination. Instead kids want to stay indoors and play video games, get
on their computer, or watch television. Technology has indeed made all of our
lives less of a hassle, and less tedious in many ways, but in retrospect it has
made a decline in human initiative. One great example of something that has
changed all human life and has taken away a good amount of initiative is the
computer. The computer allows u to do just about anything while never having to
even step a foot outside to get results. The computer allows us to talk to our
friends and families via instant messaging. Computers are also great search
engines and they are great at allowing us to look and shop for just about
anything. Technology does tend to take our human initiative away more and more
as technology advances and we advance. As we and technology advance human
initiative tends to decrease in many ways, but making our lives just that much
easier.
Is Technology out of
control and about to rule us..?
Electricity is one of these most
important inventions to this day. Without electricity life we donÕt think would
have been as difficult as you would think. Technology was invented not to make
people lazy but mostly to make life a little easier. Also to make it possible
to be able to multi task and accomplish multiple things throughout a normal
workday. In some ways it is felt that these advances have made this generation
of human beings the laziest we have ever been.
In
some ways technology has helped such as the advances in medicine, being able to
leave this planet and even the possibility of discovering other types of life
forms. In some ways these things make us better. Such as the invention of
electricity its purpose was to make it so people could work longer hours and
still be able to accomplish more when they return home after a long work day.
The
Internet is used to acquire information and research things. So this way people
save time and energy to do other things. Such as get in touch with others.
These inventions werenÕt meant to make us lazy only to cut time and make us
capable of accomplishing bigger and better things. Cell Phones are used to save
time to be able to get in touch with people at almost any time and place.
Some
things are better than the old but only some things. A lot of inventions have
to do with a lot of unnecessary things such as upgrading computer systems that
doesnÕt really need much of anything mostly for looks and unnecessary added
programs.
Technology
is created by thinkers inventors and even the average Joe, so to speak. What
these people all have in common is that thought about something outside the
realm of normal. The problem Is
that although the inventions created by these people arenÕt always met with
applause or success. Leonardo Da vinci created inventions that were years and
years ahead of their time and for this he was shunned.
`Another
thing these people have in common is that they all had a problem that needed a
solution. Therefore the need for technology is created or appears when there is
a problem that needs fixing or when people need things to be done quicker.
The
fundamental problem with technology is that it isnÕt always readily available
to all who want it or need it. the ones who always seem to acquire the newest in
technological advances are the ones who can afford it. so technology itself isnÕt the thing
that is out of control but who can have it is.

Is technology out of control and about to
control us
What technologies could we live well without? If we didnÕt have
them, how good would life be ?
Clothes making machines without machines people with skills of
making clothes and accessories would have the privilege of getting good money
or more opportunities of more job offering.
Calculators without calculators people that made up math and
developed it during the gears would be brought the years would be brought out
and solved from the mind. We would have more knowledge to know if it was
correctly done or not because we would use our brains instead of technology.
T.V.Õs show more violence then the earth has alone without a tv showing
violence and other things I think that violence would be less tha it is now. I
choose these three topics because it all has something to do with knowledge of
designing aria creation new materials and clothes for example jeans, knitted
sweaters, and normal t-shirts. Calculators without that if with math would be
difficult but it would have to be solved by the mind. As while t.v. instead of
the history, or discovery channel most of it is violence, or sexual or abuse
and for that to show to our siblings or young children they will go with those
habits and without tv children would be more into school and their books. Life
to me as a teenager female would
be distant.
Technology is important for humans. It makes life easy and it
makes certain impossible things possible. Technology we would be unaware of all
of the beauty around the world. We wouldn't be able to communicate or converse
with many people that we do now we even need technology to further many
students education in schools. We use technology so much in our everyday lives
that it would be impossible to get rid us of technological innovations. It
wouldn't be the right thing to do because we would just be taking one gigantic
step back in advancements. We learn many new things with each technological
invention that comes our way.
Humans lived there lives the same as we do, in the sense that we
will always strive to make our lives easier and slower pace and we will invent
things to help us do that no matter what, but while we may be doing this, we
are also adjusted to our lives just like they were before we had inventions
like the microwave, the cell phone, flash lights, or many others like these,
they just had different inventions like a fire instead of a stove, or horses
instead of cars. There lives were adjusted to these things like we are to the
knew inventions.
I would say that people are more innocent and more miserable now
that they were a long time ago because before inventions were made to better a
persons life and make them more capable of doing more things where as now
people make them to make us lazy and dependent on them.
All technology does not just create its self, obviously it is
created by humans for humans, sometimes. Most of the time the technology helps
make things easier, this is a hardware tool for every thing its ridiculous.
Many of the tools are very useful, but some you could do with out. In that case
the person who made the tool is the only person that makes out. The tool is not
completely necessary, if anything it is just a waste of time! That doesn't only
any for tool there are every day things that are not necessary. Things we could
live without. I think in that case technology is kind of out of control, but not
completely. People who make it make out the most cause they make every one
believe that you must have it, then every one gives out and get it. That is
when technology is out of control.
Technology has been apart of our lives for many yeas through
years. Technology has grown very much. much of our technology on our busy
lives. But if we let technology take over for us more and more people will
become lazy. But if we let technology take over for us more and more people
will become lazy and rely on the machines way to much. Technology can be a very
important thing in the world but human have to remember that their human and
like humans electronics can make mistakes.
THREE
Is Technology Out of Control and About to
Control Us
Many technological things have become a necessity in everyday
life. For example, electricity is one of the main necessities. Without it we
wouldnÕt be able to have light, or be able to keep food cold in the
refrigerator. Life would be very difficult without it. Humans will had hard
times without technology, but people managed to survive without electricity and
other stuff. People didnÕt depend on machines to build / assemble things for
them. They had to do back breaking labor.
This thing called technology makes life simple and will continue
to do so. Life would be hard if we have to produce the things we need by
hand. Machines help with this.
Technology can make us better and worse at the same time. With technology
getting better weapons and bombs are constantly improving. weapons and bombs
can protect us but if other nations get a hold of this technology life can get
bad.
It would be nearly impossible to rid ourselves of technology. If
we tried then it could wreak havoc on the human population. In order to rid
ourselves of technology then we would have to destroy every database and
technological storage facility. If we were to rid ourselves of technology the
we would be without many things. Things that are necessary for day to day
living. Things such as respirators,blood sugar meter, and asthma inhalers.
Without this technology people with severe health problems would spend the rest
of their lives (however short they may be) in pain over the fact that some
idiot decided to get rid of indispensable machines that can provide some
comfort to the terminally ill.
Technology doesnÕt spontaneously create itself. People that excel
in technology create and manufacture it. The people who invent new things do it
to further advance our culture. The ones who get the most advantage out of it
are the ones who need it either Need it for work or those who need it to
survive. Most everyone benefits from all technological advances. Life saving
technology isnÕt just reserved for the rich. Even the middle-class people
benefit from all technological advances. Not just privileged people take
advantage of new technological advances.
Technology has taken away human initiative by doing things that we
canÕt or could have done;faster and easier. Which makes people lazier. We
humans tend to avoid doing things that are too difficult and instead do things
that are easier. We as humans should have tried to keep our initiative. In the
end humans as a whole will just stop trying altogether.
Older people fear new technology because it is up to date. And for
some it brings up complications. Much of this fear is caused by itÕs being too
much work. Older generations are used to doing things the way that they grew up
with. And this causes them to reject the idea of doing things the new way.
Older people should not fear technological advances because if they donÕt like
them they donÕt have to use them.
Younger people on the other hand embrace new technologies because
unlike older people they enjoy using new technology. Young people with older
parents sometimes have to do things their parents ways. The ones with more
advantages most often have the newest technology regardless of their parents
wishes. Technology is most often used in the manner of which the user was
brought up.
New is not necessarily better than old. New just tends to be cool
and have more appeal then the old. Something new also has more uses then
something older. However, older things can and do have many uses.
We would live well without weapons of mass destruction. Take guns
for example, people in the United States use them and other weapons to harm and
destroy others. Without deadly and serious weapons the world would have a
decrease in violence and death. That would cause more more peace within our
country. Life without weapons would change international relations for the time
being
FOUR
Technology
Electricity has been depended on for many of our worldly needs.
People use TVÕs, computers, lights, clocks, radios,
Typewriters and many others.
TVÕs are used for entertainment in the world today and provides
different economic advantages, such as jobs. ThereÕs
Actors who are paid to provide entertainment for viewers all
over the world. ThereÕs the news cast who provide weather for
people to be notified for whatÕs to come and worldly news so we
can be up to date with society. When the television was not
heard of our even thought about people would usually have other
types of entertainment, to go off of. Plays and puppet shows and for news they
would have people write different assumptions on papers and sell them to get
there profits, and news out to the people.
I feel as if technology has helped us, but when we did not have
it we were not miserable. They did not have anything close to what we have and
they did what they had to do to get the job done. When they did not make electricity
yet, they got
along just fine by using the sun as there timeline, and for
seeing things clearly. Yes technology makes there world better
and more efficient, but we were not miserable.
We need technology inventions in many different ways. Such as Stop
lights, where it tells the cars when to stop and go at different intersections.
Without the invention and just with the stop sign there would be horrible
traffic and it would be very, very backed up.
Different computers are used now to communicate in many
different ways. With phones, computers, fax, mail, television. Inventions like
the vehicle, and all the different types all over the world. We need to
Technology like that to make life easier, faster, and more efficient in the way
we work different ways of life.
Technologies make us better humans because they help us with our
work assignments, with travelling, travelling expenses. They help us get
through life with easier task, and fast money makers. Technology helps people
receive more jobs, with the new technologies in the world.
We could live well without the toaster; it is not really needed
to have a toaster, because if you donÕt have one you can just use your oven,
Which you use for many other different food products. Without a toaster life
would be just fine. We wouldn't eat that much toast but we wouldn't be
stressing over it that much either. Another technology we really don't need is
a dishwasher. Dishwashers are really not needed, people have been washing with
there hands for many years and for years to come. It doesn't make life much
better, It's just there to let us wash dishes and do other things at the same
time.
I feel as if computers have taken humans initiate, because it
was meant for different reasons. Reasons like elections, and writing, but now
computers have grown and has taken tolls in different ways. They have games and
now they have computers for cars and different things. I don't think we fought
for these technologies not to happen, because there different advancements that
evolve from these technologies.
Older people fear technology because they think it's going to
ruin the younger youth today, because of al the new add ons to all the new and
different technologies. The internet with the porn and adult sites, the
connection through MySpace and all the different things.
People are afraid to connect face to face so they hide behind
technology. Older people should be afraid; I agree with the older people,
technology is taking over the youth.
Younger people embrace the fact that we have things that help us
out in different ways. Yes it makes younger people lazier; I think thatÕs why
we adapt to new technology. Even though some technologies may not be good I
feel it's good especially the way the world is changing.
New is not always better then old. Be that it may look better,
and may have better features. Older cameras are some times better for real good
looking photos. Technology sometimes will develop new things like add ons to
the old, but most of the time they really don't need the new things and it does
the same exact things as the old. They add things on there, that most of the
time youÕre not even going to use.
No! I don't think it is possible to rid our selves from
technology innovations. I don't think we should. I feel we should cut back on
our usage of different technologies. When most of the times we really don't
even need to use them. Even though some people use technology way to much. I
donÕt think we should stop the innovations.
We create technology, and we do it so we can find new reasons
for technologies, and open doors for new technology. That in the future we just
might truly need. Everyone receives different advantages from technology,
advances depending on the jobs we do. So far the people who create the
technology get the most out of it.
