In the mega film, ‘The Avengers,’ at one
point Agent Coulson says to Captain America, “We could use a bit of
old-fashioned.”
In many ways, this sentiment could apply to
many parts of our society today, including technology that has allowed us to do
some great things that weren’t possible even as recent as a few decades ago. We
have made some amazing advancements in medicine, for example, such as medical
equipment technology to allow for more comfortable scanning equipment, as one
of countless examples.
Innovation in technology has also allowed
us to do things less essential, but nonetheless helpful, such as a golf GPS
watch that does things such as measure distance from your location to the hole
on the green, as well as sand traps, on a golf course.
While we can all love smartphones and
social media as a way to stay connected at all times and know what’s going on
around the world, addiction to technology is a growing problem.
Awesome column with many excellent points! I agree with what Agent Coulson said! People need to stop being so dependant on technology. Otherwise we'll end up having terminators and machines destroying the planet even more than we humans already are.
