Modern Technology

Lately, I have been thinking about the world... And how advanced we have become in the last twenty years or so.
And frankly, I think we would have been better off if we didn't ever invent some things. Like;
The Internet: Sure, I'm on it right now, and it helps with networking and contacting people, but it also can cause health problems. Like obesity. Worse yet, Child obesity.
Television: Frankly, I could go without it. All it does is suck people out of reality and place them in this world that nothing can ever go wrong, and if you Do something wrong, there is an undo button and everything is just peachy again. No repercussions, No punishment.
Medications: Unneeded medications that is. I'm not saying that every pill is a bad thing. Just the ones that are made and prescribed without actual thinking on the doctors part. One doctor told me I should be on Ritalin for A.D.D. So I switched doctors, and they said I had schizophrenic paranoia.
And I'm not either, so I stopped going to them. I say if you aren't a smart enough doctor to actually figure out whats the matter with your patient, you should not be practicing.
Video Games: Now, I cant say anything first hand, because I've never played one. but I've seen people that do, like, constantly. Take my sister in law's younger brother for example, hes 19 now. I know for a fact that hes been playing them since he was 10, before that, I have no idea. But when I would talk to him about them... He would tell me that he has been playing games like, “Left For Dead”, “Halo”, “Call Of Duty” and those sorts, for at least 5 years. And he has been awake for 4 days straight playing them. He was usually on them for about 14 hours a day. When he was living with us, I would sit with him while he was playing them. Fall asleep on him when they got boring to watch. lol. Only to get woken up a few minutes later with him in a total rage and screaming at the screen because someone killed him in the game. Now, honestly, I don't find that sort of instant rage healthy. But when he is not playing the games, he was the sweetest guy! So I blame his anger issues on those said games. Now, there is nothing I could have done about it, he was an adult, and not my responsibility.
Cars and Trucks: They are wonderful for traveling. But honestly, they are rolling killers in my book. With the amount of accidents, hit and runs, and the amount of pollutions they relieve into the air... It's amazing to me that more people don't understand what we are doing to the planet and actually try and car pool more or do something about it. I mean, I would walk more places, or ride a bike, but there are so many roads now a days that are not bike friendly, or drivers that have no idea how to drive about town with bikes on the road.
That last one would start another whole rant about how people drive. its Horrid!!

But there are more that I did not list.
But I think there are TOO many to list.

Thank you for reading, sorry for it being sort of short. If you disagree with me, or have an opinion of your own, please, feel free to post your comments ^^ I will try to reply to them all. If I do not, PM me or something.
I'm so glad some of you like my blogs.
