Always Available

So I know that lately we have been talking about all the bad things about our culture, with all of its new and improved technology and self-involved people, and how we hope it doesn't get worse. Well I think it is about time to address some of the perks of this new age. 

We live in an age of accessibility. We have anything we could ever need practically at the end of our fingertips, 24/7, especially now with smart phones. If we need to talk to someone we can just call them up, even if we are just riding the bus or at the grocery store. If we need an address or a phone number we can just hop over to the computer and search the Internet, forgoing the tedious process of looking them up in phonebooks. If we have missed or don’t have time for our favorite television shows we can just find them on the internet, such as on the website Hulu, and watch them at our convenience.

This is all amazing to experience and be apart of. Hardly ever being put out of my way because of needing something and not being able to acquire it is very nice. Yet, this can have its downside as well. All of this availability can lead to a society dependent on technology too much. I just hope we never have to find out what would happen if technology just disappeared one day because I don’t think it would be very pretty.
