Technology and Our Future

            
             People always tend to seek the easy way out. They look for something that will make their lives easier. Computers and the internet have given us the ability to do that. This rage of technology has given us the ability to do more in less time. As technology advances, computers become faster and more powerful. Every day a better, more powerful and advanced computer is made, and the internet being the doorway to the future.

No chance left for accidental exploration. The access that students have to the internet is causing a wave of laziness. They no longer have to work for the information. The internet practically hand-feeds the students of today. Everything on the internet is neatly categorized for their easy access. They are able to pick and choose what to click on and read. "Nothing comes unless summoned.
