Technology

Last week I attended the monthly luncheon for my SCCSML scholarship and we were discussing a book that raised many interesting questions.  One that caught my interest dealt with technology and the role it plays in the up and coming generation, specifically communication.  People do not communicate the way they used to, especially when dealing with face to face interactions.  The younger generation does not know how to interact on a professional level in a face to face environment, and many believe it can be traced to technology.  With cell phones and the internet communication is taking a much more impersonal level and it is affecting the next generation in a negative way.   Another way technology is having a negative impact is through our impatience.  Sega is developing a urinal video game that is controlled by the urine of the participant.  It is sad that our generation has reached such a humiliating level as to have to stoop to urinal video games.
