Video Killed the Radio Star

Just to start clear, technology is an amazing invention. It has changed our lives and the rest of human life forever, but like anything else there are pros and cons. Everyone can probably name a billion pros because technology is awesome, but I have lived multiple cons of technology.

I have a very big opinion on the negative impact technology has on society. Most of the time I use technology for playing games, listening to music, deleting emails and tweeting from my ipod. Or doing work, typing, research, playing games and checking my favorite freebie and social media websites on the computer. I don't do a lot of technological communication. It's not real to me. With technology in the way what communication is real? People are so different behind a screen than in person. There is so much to say about it but I am at a lose of how to describe it. 

Texting and driving makes me very angry and it happens everywhere, all the time. Is any text really worth it? My mom will hand me her phone to text for her so she can focus. 

Since my dad upgraded his black berry to an iPhone, ughhh. The laptop at his house doesn't work but since he can access everything he used to need a computer for on his phone he hasn't replaced it. Now I am computer less at his house and I don't like to use my iPod for everything. Also he is always on that thing, always. I try and have a conversation and it's not a conversation, there is a disconnect. I either get a generic response or a what, can you repeat that? 

Technology is also my biggest distraction. So many website, so many apps so many ways to find the answer to everything but I have other stuff.

I guess I have a more negative view of technology than most teenagers, but I think I have legit reasons and have had different experiences. 

Dat's life.
