Re: Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy

I found that comedian Louis C.K. was very humourous when describing our world today as it is. It's funny because we can look at it ourselves and know how true it is about how we act towards modern day technology. We have already gotten so far with technological advancements in just a couple years, and people aren't taking enough time to appreciate all of it. All we ever care about is getting faster and better, which isn't a bad thing because that's how we improve. However, every now and then, we have to stop and think, "Technology is amazing".

I can't imagine life without technology. Being born in a technologically advanced era, I think everything relies on technology to solve our problems. I'm sure I can last without technology, but that would make my life really hard like how it was many decades ago. If I were to ask my parents about what they did with the lack of technology back then, they would say they still accomplished many things, just not as easily. It all depends on how you look at it. Messages can be sent almost instantly compared to snail mail which can take several days to get there. To talk to others over the phone, people have to speak through a speaker attached to wires. Nowadays, almost everyone has a portable cell phone. Looking at how much difference a couple years makes, we know that we should not take it for granted. Life without technology would be just plain boring.

In the future, all we know is that technology will definitely keep advancing to almost perfect levels. And when we reach that point, hopefully we can realize what technology is really capable of, without any more complaints.
