Technology, advancing us...or bringing us down?

I find that I only use technology for the purpose of things that normally I can do through normal interaction.

Here are some examples.

I write my paper's, do presentations, and other class homework through computer programs. I used to just write them out with paper or use colorful posters and glitter.

I used to just use a normal telephone to telephone conversation or talked in person. Now I have to result to text messaging, hearing about them through facebook or myspace or twitter,  or a "scheduled cell phone conversation" based on how many minutes they have on their phone. I can only hope their plan has unlimmited minutes.

However now instead of a horse and carriage, I can fly on a plane or drive in a car to get to locations around the globe.

This is the Word.
