Ellen DeGenerous; This is how we live

The Ellen DeGenerous article is humorous on how technology is starting to hurt us. She talks about how we have made advancements in things that we really did not need to like yogurt and moving walk ways. For example like with yogurt, now we don't just have yogurt but we have "Go-Gurt". Like really do we really need yogurt that is in a tube that you can take on the go. I agree with Ellen in saying that some of these technology's are just ridicules with something's. For some older people it might look a little crazy but for kids it is the cool thing to have . An you wouldn't have to worry about if you forgot a spoon or anything like that. So I guess you can look at it both cases as a good and bad technology that has been transformed. Next I do really agree with her saying that it is absurd to have a moving walk ways in air ports. Like how lazy can you get that you cant walk and you have to take something that gets you there slower then actually walking. like when I see somebody on that I just like how lazy are we actually getting, like just walk! Soon or later we will have these things everywhere and no one will ever walk again. There is a lot of technology then you would thing and some of it is good and beneficial. Then there is some that is just very unnecessary and un called for. Reading this article I had a few laughs on what she was saying but in the big picture she had really good points. Technology will keep advancing and how ever you see if its useful or not is your point of view.        

Everything bad is good for you

This article talks about how kids these days are more focused on video games and less on reading. There was a study that showed reading for fun has progressively decreased more and more every year. Kids these days would rather sit down and watch TV or play some type of video game the just read for fun. It also says that book company's are taking a big hit on this because no one is buying hard copy's of books anymore. If someone is going to read they can get it electronically somehow. It says that the TV is starting to turn kids into zombie and all they want to do is sit inside and watch TV or play video games. Books and reading is just starting to not be apart of the new generations of kids. An for future generations it will continue to decrease and get progressively worse.
