Every year phone companies claim to have made “the next big thing”, Tesla creates a better car that doesn’t need a drop of gas to run on, Google makes glasses that run on a little chip that can fit the memory of a computer on to and people say all this technology is making this world a better place. New technology has gotten to the point where it’s starting to change the world in a bad way rather than make the world a better place. People would rely on the internet now that it can be used almost anywhere in the world with a devise the size of our hand. Everywhere you go you would see people walking like zombies staring at their phones.

Schools are taking out books and replacing them with tablets and laptops and say it will make it a lot easier for a kid to read, learn and type on there instead of reading
