While I like certain things that technology has brought us. I've always said and felt that technology will be the death of us in one shape or form.
As I work on a college campus, it's amazing how little the college age kid can do or has done in their past. It's also amazing how little they can do without having their phone.
I couldn't agree with this more. Technology has brought great advancements in my field as well. We wouldn't have cardiac monitors, advanced defibrillators, and medication pumps. But, as a college student also, I understand what you are saying.
I remember even the first time I went through school 5 years ago, there were very few "E-books". Now, you are the odd man out if you use an actual book. And honestly, why would we when e books are a fraction of the price?
While some of the advancements are great, one thing I hate to see and that really grinds my gears, is seeing adolescents/adults and even smaller children with there faces buried in their phones as if they were zombies. While people use their phones for work and I understand that, the majority of them are just using it as an excuse not to be social.
