Obsolition
As man rapidly broden his knowledge in the area of science and develops new tecnology, a new quandary is posed; are we strenghthening or losing our roots? Most of the generation being born today will have no idea what a typewriter is, and our children will look at CD's the way we view VHS'. As we are in this strive to move forward, we disregard the past and subject those who tend to straggle behind with the burden of bein left there. This could be through sheer ignorance, but the fact is that we're changing in a direction never before seen. People can argue that through the Industrial Revolution we were made more whole, but these "advances" arent just changing the workforce. These changes will make lives longer, make them easier, and offer new ways to become dependent on instant gratification opposed to work. Not all of these changes have to be bad, but we the next working generation seriously need to take the time and DECIDE how these changes will be implemented into our vastly growing population.

To be honest, we have become very reliant on technology. Right about to the point where if it were all taken from us at this moment, our civilization would be in danger of collapsing, and it most likely would. We are too far in to go back now though. These new technologies are a irremovable part of our lives. We are going to have to learn how to have this technology and keep our natural human selves without becoming too reliant on it to the point where we are hardly human at all.
