The World Without Technology

Technology is more than an object with electricity. It has been around since man was found upon the earth. Kevin Kelly, of Wired Magazine, defines technology as, "anything useful that a human mind has made" (Technology's epic story). Thus tools, weapons, and clothes are technology. He asserts fire to be the key technology that enabled humans to rise to dominance on earth. He argues the modern PC chip to be nearly as powerful. I agree emphatically. No species ever has been able to perpetuate knowledge, connect socially, and have access to near-infinite amounts of data the way we do. Furthermore, I believe we are still in modern technology's infancy. As its exponential progress continues, its power will astound us. We have already seen modern technology's application for both good and evil in society. I predict the spectrum of future innovations to grow only wider. The pornography, video game, and general media addictions will become worse, while uses in education, social connectivity, and the dissemination of knowledge will bless humanity immensely.
