Progress

 

            Over the years, progress has improved the world. Cultural progress has made humans better, and made this world a better place to live in, while, similarly, scientific progress has been effective in eradicating diseases, providing better crops, improving transportation, and much more. Literary progress has helped us better record history and ideas. Progress in communication has brought this huge world together into a "global village.".
             Generally, all aspects of progress have gone toward the betterment of the world. Since the industrial revolution, technology has made our lives more and more convenient. Certainly, fifty years ago, life was not as easy as it seems to be now. Communication, technology, medicine, and living standards were all much different from what we have become accustomed to today, and we have mostly progressed toward the better. .
             But as much as progress has bettered our lives, it is also a huge daily concern. The products of progress, when in the wrong hands, can wreak havoc on the society of which it was supposed to improve. .
             Our increasingly sophisticated weaponry, and weapons of mass destruction, the science of cloning, and crop control technologies are a few examples of how progress can do us wrong. Our sophisticated toys which parents are forced to buy for their kids are only making it unnecessary for them to ever leave the house to play with their peers, which is causing them to lack in social skills, mental skills, and coordination skills. A lot of this progress has only caused the world to become lazier. It seems we cannot survive anymore without computers, cellular phones, and the such.
             Sure, we have automobiles and telephones now, but we are always too lazy, or too in a hurry to just walk somewhere these days. We don't need to visit people anymore, because now, just calling them is sufficient enough. It is even considered rude to visit someone without calling first.
