Fossils at the Age of Technology



      What is it? Who knows? Maybe my last question is wrong, I should ask: Who doesn't know? Because the center of our age is technology, we can say this. Everybody uses computers, laptops, smart-phones, mobile phones...
      In the 1980s PC ,as Personal Computer, became available to everyday person, because technology could evolve these smaller, fit-just-on-a-table computers. In this period just some people could afford to have such computer or computer at all. 
      I can see in connection with my parents that they were those people who could not afford for themselves computers when they were 25-30 years old. They have been just doing physical works, so the mental skills to use technology were not important. This week they bought a laptop because now they cannot miss this kind of technology because of their job. So they started to use it, but soon finding help became important, because they aren't used to computers as children these days, and switch on and off the computer is difficult for them, too. Now they can use Web browsers and Skype, but some programs are still unknown for them.
      It is really sad that today's society cannot understand this class don't have the affinity to use laptops, or to get to know an unknown program in just 1 minute, and then use it. Today children have the skill to use every technical things even if they have never seen such thing before. If you take a 6-year-old child to the computer, he/she'll use this in 5-6 minutes in a proper way. There is something in them, which can help to know how to use technical things, something that they are born with. Maybe because  it is important, it should biologically develop, nobody knows. Or maybe these children grow up in technological circumstances so they just, as a sponge, acquire everything.
      It is true that technical development is important to get information for work, for school; to express our feelings and thoughts; to make new friendships; and for a lot of other things. I use internet everyday, too, but now I think everybody lose the controll in using internet. Now who has computer , uses it everyday, become addicted. If we didn't use our laptop for some days, it became missed, and we have the feeling to use it, otherwise we become stressed.
      So we have to think about the advantages and disadvantages of technology. It seems to be easy, but it is really hard to get the right answers.
