Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy



There are many people in the world today that are ungrateful of the technology that is presented in the 21st century. Many people today are unsatisfied of how an eletronic device, automobile, aircraft, and so forth is not stable enough to their standard. For instance, a certain laptop may be too slow for them. In my opinion, all the technology that my family has is grateful and we dont take anything for granted. Technology is very important in my life, because without it I may barley know anything about the old life of non-technology. I was born when technology was already improving at such a fast rate. My parents told me that the "good old days" were more on self-labour that relying on technology. For instance, instead of an electric powered vaccum, my mom use to use a manual vaccum that you pull foward and back without no electric power. Humanity could build a faster airplane for people to reach their destination quicker, due to the fact that they have a funeral to attend backhome, or they have to visit someone important to them that is very ill. Thus, technology has affected my life completely and technology will improve everyday as people will think of new ways to improve everything in life.


Cell Phones Manners Matter


Cell Phones are a massaive necesity in today's economic invovlment. Many teens today want a cell phone though it is not necessity for them, they want to have one to look cool. For me, I need a cellphone at my age because incase of an emergency I could call my parents to pick me up from school and so forth. I remember one day when my freind's sister, who was in grade 4, asked her mother if she can get a cell phone, and in my mind im thinking to myself I'm in grade 8 and I don't even have a cell phone. Her mom then replied to her and said "No, your too young to have a cell phone". Then my friend's sister replied "But Mom, Jessica has one". I assumed that Jessica was my freind's sister's friend. I then noticed that are world is changing and all these luxury items or goods in our lives are taking over and we get so use to them, eventually we depend on them on our everyday lives.


I see many people in their car while driving their car, teens texing their freinds during class, people in the hallway talking on their cellphone, leaving their cellphone on during a movie, leaving their cellphone on during an important meeting or assembly. Their are many ways to fix this for instance, when driving your car, you can simply buy a bluetooth headset which is handsfree therefore, you dont have to hold the cell phone in your hand and risk an accident.


The five rules that I came up with are: 1. Do not hold your phone while driving. 2. Do not leave your phone on during a movie. 3. Do not leave your phone on during an important meeting or assembly. 4. Do not talk on your cellphone during class or in the hallway. 5. Do not text during class.


Thus, we should all make up rules for ourselves that leads us to the right way of using a cellphone, because we all have the wisdom to use one.
