Journal #2 Reliance on Technology

It took me nearly half an hour before I was happy with a topic for my research paper. It still could change, but for now I think that the reliance and dependence on technology in society is not a terrible problem. In reality technology has helped us in numerous areas of our everyday lives. Most of us, my generation in particular, have never known life without technology. When it comes down to it though is could we function as a society if we lost our technology. What happens when we do not have our cell phones, computers, electricity,debit cards, credit cards, and the list could go on forever. All of these things make life easier but not even 50 years ago we would be using a check book and pen to pay our fee at the store. I am sure we could over come the lose but for any length of time I do not think so. It is now too much a part of our everyday lives to just lose and go on without. I think this topic has many different areas to also delve deeper into or find a specific segment to research. I am sure some of the Technology professors or other professionals on school grounds could give me insight and answer questions that are related to this topic.

  1. Technology is a big subject, so you will need to narrow it down. The intersection of Energy and Technology might be interesting to pursue. How "green" is technology if it is using up more and more energy to run the more it expands? After all, something has to power up all those redundant servers that make up the Web. Or what are the national security issues of a society that is so dependent on the electrical grid because of its dependence on technology?
