I believe the biggest issue is probably the internet. I remember the early days of the internet, and am amazed at how big it has become in such a short time. The internet has completely revolutionized communication worldwide. Small businesses can now sell worldwide. If there is a hard to find item, look it up online. We can read news from any country. The internet is a truely amazing marvel of technology that has affected every aspect of our lives. As with any technological advancement, there is going to be some bad things, but I think the bad things about the internet are small and easilly outweighed by the good. The one problem of any technology is, how dependent are we on it? My philosophy is: if something can go wrong, plan for it. Modern conviences are great, but how many of us know what to do when it does not work? If we have no power how many people will be trying all day to push a switch on a can opener to open a can of food while the rest of us simply use our swiss army knife and enjoy a meal. There is nothing wrong with technology that makes life easier, we just have to know what to do when it does not work.
