In class the idea that technology is causing people to be increasingly less intelligent or knowledge able. I do not think this is true. Consider how much information has been made accessible by technology. Of course there are books filled with information, and they still hold great value, but the amount of information that has been made available to the masses over the internet is almost miraculous. Technology has also acted as a medium to a better understanding, and knowledge of other countries. Although many people remain rather ignorant of other cultures there is no doubt that we are moving forward.
Technology however, by allowing people to accomplish tasks faster, has given people more time to spend as they wish. The problem comes into play when people chose to spend their extra hours goofing off instead of continuing to expand their knowledge in some manner.
