First day of School

With the beginning of Senior High School came the start of history class and our first topic for the course is early 21st century history. I sat there at my glass table in the back corner of the classroom listening to the teacher intently as she told us about the lifestyle of the people who lived a hundred years ago. As the teacher slid slides on the interactive glass board at the front of the room i followed along using my text drive. sliding my fingers across my table to change the pages I realised how easy I had it. The people who lived in the early 21st century had to carry books around to classes and write on white boards using ink and now all I have to do is stick my text drive which looks almost like the old USB sticks into the side of my table which acts like a computer to reveal my text book. Then just like an ancient ipad i turn the pages with my finger. How much things have changed since the past. I wonder though is the way we are living morally correct or not. We rely a lot on technology now. Should that be the case?

  1. Well I wonder what probelm there really is using technology, it makes life easier. Lizzie_wwjd you said it yourself life is easier than it was back in the early 21st century. Look at the ancient ipads for example, you used to have to drag you finger across the screen to change pictures or select items and now all we have to is think about it and the ipad does it for us. We dont have to lift a finger. Technology has advanced so much that it can now connect to our brains so we dont have to do anything at all. Look at the bright side!
