Thanks to digital technology my 87 year friend called today. I was worried about her since when I called her number the last few days all I got is an answering machine which she does not know how to use. I said I would call her back and if I did not to call me again. I called her back and the same old thing, answering machine. She called me back but before I could get the phone it went to my answering service on cell phone. This happened twice. It seems like someone turned off her ringer so she does not hear the phone. After her house burned down she was moved to some senior living place far at the edge of town. Technology can be a good or bad thing.

When trying to reach her today, before she called, I called a number of numbers at her Church only to get answering machines. I called the Senior Living place where she lives only to get answering machines. Technology can be a good or bad thing.

Someone used a friend’s Facebook page to send out some porn. I did not open it but later found that more porn was sent out, this time with 16 people attached to it, including me. I think I got it off my timeline but really do not know who to deal with this kind of hacking. Technology can be a good or bad thing.

Technology allows big businesses to produce more with less people, but usually the less people are doing more. Technology can be a good or bad thing.
When I was young I was told that technology would give us more leisure time. Well that did not happen for most Americans. Those with jobs work harder and harder for less pay but more living expenses. Those who cannot get employment do not have money for leisure activities. Technology can be a good or bad thing.

In the old days when we were visiting family and friend we sat around and talked. With TV we still talked but with TV in background. Now with digital devices often I find that with my son’s family when we visit everyone sits around, including me, on their digital devices. Technology can be a good or bad thing.

According to a friend computer technology is exponential which means that by 2050 it will catch up with human intelligence. He says it will not take long for that to double and machines will surpass human. Technology can be a good in an age, I like to call, of “instantity’. If I want to know something I can just check my computer and usually find the information. My grandson told me how to speak into my cell phone and check out information, almost instantly. We have so much information at our disposal at anytime. Technology can be a good or bad thing.

New technology can be an equalizer but can also put a person without it at a great disadvantage. On the economic level I see it contributing to inequality. Technology can be a good or bad thing.

I know saying “good or bad thing” is an over simplifying. But I think you get my point; how technology has radically changed our lives for good or bad. We can kill more people more effectively or we can save lives with technology. Technology can be a good or bad thing.
