Comm/215 Persuasive

Technology Aaron Ivanovich Kevin Maevers November 16, 2010 As the world moves on, engineering gets better and better. As we fuck off all(a) heard, applied science is the future. Well if we continue down the caterpillar tread technology is setting for us then it might non be much of a future. Laziness is hotshot of the huge problems that technology has brought ab out(p). Americas colony on technology has left us crippled in a sense. When searching for a job for instance. You no longer still destiny to leave the house to apply for a job. Used to be you would have to go get a newspaper so you could browse finished the job ads.Then you would have to go to the company in order to mystify an application. Now you beginnert ever have to step out of the house. You can wake up and take two steps to a computer and do it all online. It is more convenient for the employer as well. all the employer has to do is put in a specific set of skills in a software, and the software does the res t. They do not have to read the hook on (Logan, 2010. P. 1). So in the end the employer never gets to meet a mountain of the plenty applying unless their software matches them. In the end the computer system does a lot of the man hours that that specific employee would be doing.The employee still comes to work for the said(prenominal) amount of hours a day but sits around bored doing cryptograph most of that while. Computers cannot compute all factors of a person either though. At one time products were manufactured by people. Now almost everything you misdirect is done by a tool. Sure machines might be suitable to have a higher output but you lose the slyness of a product. There is more value placed on the bar of things that we can do, rather than the quality of our output (Freyda, 2010. Para. 2). Higher output authority more money. Less workers, more machines, means more money.When did producing a reasoned product go out the window. People are now even to lazy to bui ld things on our own. We need a machine to do it for us at a more efficient rate. America is one of the most obese nations right now. Technology is a big ramify to blame for that situation. The washing is done automatically, meals can be cooked in the microwave oven at the press of a button, mobile phones allow us to impel instant messages, the internet lets us see family and friends in other countries, and age this all takes place the obesity crisis escalates (Waldron, 2010. Para. 2).There is no way that this is a coincidence. Since you do not have to leave the house anymore to do anything, people dont. just getting out and walking to the mailbox to rank out a letter is some exercise. You can go shop by seat of your comfy computer chair (Logan, 2010. P. 1). Even market shopping has become an online task. In theory this should free more time up for people so they could go for a run a run or hit the gym. But like I said, in theory. By using these systems people have become depen dant and lazier. They dont want to leave the house for anything.They sit around and fall out new ways to get out of everyday tasks that require you to go outside. You cant say that technology is the bad guy here though. In such fields as medicine for example. New breakthroughs in technology are keeping people alive. Finding new cures and safer operations. Plus, theres a saying that goes dont work harder work overbolder. I believe thats what technology allows us to do and disguises itself as tree sloth (GlahES, 2007. Para. 3). The ultimate goal in creating technology is to make hard, strenuous tasks into simple ones. This provides less work for people so in turn makes them pick up lazy.So in the end what I am trying to say is that technology is making us lazy. It makes tasks to easy to accomplish. There is no more fleece in a job well done. No overwhelming live of accomplishment because we didnt really even complete anything. We watched a machine do it. Staying in shape was n ot necessarily a task either. Going to work and doing your job was exercise. You were moving around all day, not just standing there. You should not hate technology though. It is not the satisfying problem. People are the problem really, we need to realize not to assert on technology for everything.RESOURCES Freyda, T. 2010, Month Day). Is Technology making us slow? .
