Technology Reflection

Technology is the objects that are hooked up to an electrical outlet or uses power and makes life easier. The 5 most important pieces of technology used today are the car, the computer (including the internet), the plane, the cell phone and the ipod. The 5 least important pieces of technology used today are the typewriter, I don't use the TV much, in India people don't use the vacuum as much as in the US, the CD player, and the tape player. In my opinion AES is far ahead of most other schools in terms of technology. In my old school they didn't have laptops, they just had computer labs. Here they have I think over 250 laptops and a few computer labs. But I do think AES should let us listen to our ipods, they did in my old school. Overall I think AES has more technology than most schools.

Vonnegut Technology

I think he is half right. People shouldn't be totally dependent on technology, but we should use it as a tool to help us with our following life. The Euphio Question was a perfect example of abusing technology to create happiness. We should pursue happiness, not create it. How can you feel the sense of accomplishment when you really achieve happiness if you just create it? But you can use technology to help you like the internet and computers. People use them in everyday life to help them with work or just for relaxation. I don't think its right to shield people from their true potential or "dumb them down" to the IQ of other people like in Harrison Bergeron.
