    The thing is though is that everything isn't perfect, everything has negatives and it is always the negatives that are always outshining the positives because people want something perfect but that will never happen. Technology is an ever changing man made creation, it gets updated and changed on a daily basis making us have to adapt more and more. That's why if you accept change in your life and like how the articles say that children are the most willing people to change because they have grown up with technology making it the easiest for them to be used to this daily change.

Relating this to my life and back to my last response paper, I think that cell phones are a great example of making things, faster, easier, and more efficient. Although there are many positives to cell phones, I think it makes people socially awkward and as children get them earlier in life, it can lead to dangerous situations.
