Technology

     I really loved reading the article about the evolution of the smartphone because this was written almost a year ago and some of the ideas that they are saying will happen in 20, 30 or 50 years have already happened. Google glass is making world news and Samsung has some out with a new Galaxy phone that comes with a blue tooth enabled watch.
     So does that mean that the speed of the loss of communication is only going to happen that much faster? When it comes to the topic of technology and the control it has on people I almost always think of the communication gap. We are constantly texting and im-ing, and we even say that we don't like making phone calls. But why is that? Are we so introverted that we'll just collapse into an anxiety filled puddle or do we just generally not like talking to people anymore?
     I think communication is going to be the aspect of our lives that gets controlled the most by technology. Even in just the 6 year gap between me and my sister I see a huge display of this. My friends and I will talk to each other and leave the house and walk somewhere to do something together. Every time she has a friend over they just sit and play on their ipods either making videos or taking pictures of themselves.
     Like I said before the communication gap is my greatest concern in the inevitable control of technology over our lives.
