Technology Evolution

Technology has always been one of the most used sources humankind has to offer.Technology offers users multiple advantages such as immediate access to a incredible wide source of information. Yet, technology can’t be reliable as we thought. Not just because of the incredible amount of inaccurate information and unreliable resources the internet contains, It’s how technology revolutionized society. Which is why I’m not as dependent to technology as to most people. “ Our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply without distraction” (Wu 2) We are living in a generation where it’s difficult to mentally absorb what we read and formed a habit to “skim read”. We live in a generation when once research required a matter of days to acquire. As of now it can be done in a matter of minutes due to society's continuing growing advanced technology. In a traditional sense, browsing through titles, skimming through texts has become habit-forming for society that this generation has become “mentally lazy”. It seems like nowadays society doesn’t absorb what we read and get easily distracted. However, even though technology can have its advantages such as immediate access. “ The advantages to having immediate access to such an incredible rich store of information are many” Yet, this doesn’t mean what we read on the internet is simply the truth. There of various amounts of inaccurate sources, articles, and information on the internet that it’s difficult to determine what’s accurate and what’s not (Carr 1).

Technology is mentally and physically making us lazy. With the power of advanced technology, we do less work than we have to before technology became so advanced. Research required days in the library to do. As of now it can be done within a couple of minutes. Most of us used house phones, and now we have cell phones and don’t have to wait to get home to check if we received missed calls. In the early 2000’s Microsoft, and Google were getting popular. As of now, Microsoft and Google have become the most reliable resources for education.

Technology has improved our lives for years. Many of it’s greatest invention have become one of our most reliable sources yet. The first wheel turned into the first car that help us transport easily and faster. When the first computer was created, many softwares were created to help do research, look up information,etc. However, throughout the years, we have become so dependent on technology that we have become lazy.

In this generation many young kids now communicate through Facebook, Instagram, etc. It’s like any of us don’t know how to communicate anymore. You see more people on their phone, than a book in their hands. Technology has and always will be a part of society and will continue to grow. Yet, most of us don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing since a various amount of people are already mentally and physically lazy due to the advanced technology.

Technology can be beneficial , yet mostly has disadvantages. It makes this generation more dependent than ever before. Society needs to learn that we can’t always rely on technology. How are our future children going to grow? Our children will grow into a generation in taking selfies, interacting only through social media, and not leaving the house because owe have HD flat screen televisions. The existence of technology is extremely beneficial and don’t mind if it continues to grow. Yet, we as a generation need to learn not to rely on it as much and learn how to become more independent.

Immigration

    Immigration is one of the controversial topics in the United States. Many citizens have debated and fought within the years whether or not undocumented people, aliens, foreigners, illegal immigrants, or whatever you wish to call should given amnesty for illegal immigrants. Americans believe we can’t afford any amnesty for illegal immigrants, while other citizens who do believe illegal immigrants should be given amnesty believe they are many benefits to having illegal aliens here and they can be used as assets.  There are roughly eleven to twelve million undocumented individuals living illegally in The United States. Many protesters are trying to stop these immigrants from continuing to live illegally here. While others citizens, disagree in deporting these foreigners from our home. Yet, these citizens fail to realize that we currently have a national debt of 18 trillion dollars The citizens who do believe immigrants should be given amnesty need to realize we don’t have the time or money to let these aliens live here freely. Americans need to worry about our own citizens first before dealing with others.

Aliens are defined as trespassing our country without legal permission and disobeying the law and requirements to enter the country legally.These citizens who oppose deporting undocumented people back to their homeland would agree that allowing aliens to live here freely would create more opportunities, (job opportunities).  “ In the last 12 months of our wonderful economic recovery, we have created 2.6 million new jobs” Even though our economy is progressively recovering, almost half of those 2.6 million new jobs are not full time (Butowsky 1).

It’s not just the economy’s financial problems our citizens have to worry. These “aliens” could be bringing unknown diseases to our country. These immigrants are over-populating our country. These foreigners can’t even financially invest into our country.  Immigrants aren’t useful or beneficial as many would think they are. Yet, many will disagree. “If these migrants are given a work permit and brought into the system, they will contribute $45 billion over five years in payroll taxes to the United States economy” These immigrants can be assets if wanted to (Kristoff 2). These migrants can be beneficial if given work permits. Yet, immigrants can put a burden on the U.S financially. Our nation has too many needs and wants, that giving amnesty to over 5 million illegal immigrants can increase our financial burden. We can’t afford giving amnesty to 5 million illegal aliens. We can’t afford it. It will cost us American taxpayers a fortune. American taxpayers have spent a fortune breaking up families and deporting the men and women who obviously just want to work and live freely with their families.

Our government shouldn’t give amnesty to illegal aliens. We shouldn’t give amnesty to those who are unlawfully present without legal permission. Americans shouldn’t reward them with amnesty for living here without legal permission. It’s not fair for those who actually obey the law and meet the requirements to enter the country legally. Not to mention the cultural differences we have. Not that it’s a bad thing but having immigrants divides up the country. The language barriers we have. It can sometimes lead to hostile situations.

Most believe that American should close the immigration gates because immigrants don’t have the skills or requirements to find a job here. That’s why most of them rely on welfare or any type of government aid at the expense of American taxpayers. They are also not enough jobs here for Americans, let alone immigrants. This will just cause more competition to find what jobs are available.

Crime can also increase. If any crime is committed by an undocumented person, they can simply flee back to their homeland.
