WWW The World Wide Web

The World Wide Web impacts my life on a daily basis. I rely on it for many aspects of my life such as my social life, education, employment, and for tasks such as banking.
The World Wide Web allows us to connect to internet pages from around the world and access virtually any type of information we may want. I do not know what I would do without the the World Wide Web as I use it as a vantage point for virtually every aspect of my life. I can find my friends, family, work contacts, my university, addresses, maps, and all sorts of things on the here. It is the most useful tool in my life as it is easy to use, quick, and full of all sorts of information.
I cannot imagine life without the World Wide Web because my life practically revolves around it. I found my job via the internet, I applied for university on the internet, I do my banking on the internet, and I keep in touch with friends and family on the internet. These things are all very important to me and I have the ability to access them due to the World Wide Web. If it did not exist, I don't know where I would be today. My life is so much easier as any information I need can literally be found with the click of a mouse.

If the World Wide Web did not exist, or was not accessible to anyone, my life would be completely different. I would not have nearly as many friends and acquaintances as I do because social media would also be non-existent. However, I do think that I would have closer bonds to friends and family because social media allows us to be less personal in our interaction with others. Sometimes we may not even know WHO we are talking to.
While there are clearly some downfalls to the World Wide Web, I believe that the positive aspects far outweigh the negatives. The internet allows us to search for answers freely without judgment or consequence. There are many sensitive questions that we all pose throughout our lives that we may not want others to know about. By using the Web we can find these answers without having to consult others. The internet is a convenient tool to use as it gives us information at a remarkably fast rate with very little cost. It impacts my life so much that I can no longer imagine living in a world without the World Wide Web.

The Dangers of Dependence on Complex Technology

Our society is absolutely addicted to complex technology. It impacts our daily lives in so many ways, and perhaps the worst part of it is that we don't actually realize just how dependent we have become on it. Cell phones, computers, televisions, cars, stop lights, alarm systems, banks, and many other aspects of our daily lives all depend on complex technology. We only realize just how much we depend on this technology when we cannot use it due to an event such as a power outage. In some aspects, complex technology has practically taken away our ability to rely on ourselves as well as on one another.


This issue is important to me as I believe that I am guilty of being unaware of just how dependent I am on complex technology. Clearly I am not the only person who is guilty of this, and therefore I believe that this makes this issue all the more real.


This complex technology is important as it shows us that society is still moving forward and evolving. However, I think that we need to be critical of new technology rather than embracing it immediately as it may not be the best for us in the long run.When we look at how many jobs have been lost to new electronically run machines we must consider how technology may actually take away from human beings. Are we really willing to let our human counterparts suffer due to technology? When I think of technology, I believe that it should be something that is good for everyone.


A possible solution to this problem could be enforcing policies which ensure that jobs will not be lost due to the next technological advancement. I believe that there is room in this world for technology and humanity to exist harmoniously, however we need to set limitations on how far we are willing to let technology go.
