technology to come

I thought about my life and how technology has affected it. I am able to do some much more than my parents and my grandparents. Growing up in a generation that was able to be around these technologies from a young age on, is such an advantage. Our society is based off cellphones and the Internet. An older person many times struggles to keep up and understand technologies many of us take for granted. I don't know how many times my mother or grandmother have contacted me about a question dealing with computers. To think my mother went to college without a computer. You could not make it through college now a days without one. That seems unreal. I feel as though I understand many of the new technologies around us now, but who knows what the future has in store for us.
I have never taken the time to really think about the future of technology. This book has put it into prospective for me. Reading about many of the new things in this book makes me feel like certain technologies I am good at are sure to fade away soon enough. Then I'm in a position like my parents, cramming to learn about some bigger and better thing before I fall behind the rest of society. I mean I had a hard enough time with this class to begin which is minuet compared to other things. I just hope all these new technologies will really benefit the people and not become a hassle to keep up with.
