Post Modern Technology

In today's post modern world, technology rules our life.  People are obsessed with a five inch screen sitting in front of their face.  This creates many problems in today's life, people aren't getting as socially active as they used to be.  People communicate through technology which is a good thing at times.  People able to connect with people world wide is a huge advantage to previous society's.  At other times it can have negative effects on people.  People need to actually talk with one another in real life.  Talking to someone online is completely different from talking to them in person.  Saying things to another persons face makes you cautious of what you are saying.  As a society we need to get back to our roots and become more socially engaged instead of communicating through Facebook and other media devices.

One of the most important problems is the fact that young kids are becoming addicted to technology at a very young age.  How can we expect change in our society if every generation is becoming addicted at a younger and younger age.  If we want to change we need to stop allowing kids the freedom of technology and games.  Of course everyone needs to use some technology especially for education but it can be limited.  Kids need to exercise and stop playing so much video games and watching so much TV.  Technology is good in moderation it just needs to be limited in its use.  In our post modern world, we will face many challenges and one of them has to do with total time spent using technology, because if we don't our society will be forever changed in a negative way.
