The Terminator

When I think of technology controlling us, I think of the movie Terminator.  If you haven't seen it, basically we as humans take technology to a whole new level and create machines that look, move, talk, just like us.  They take over and don't like humans anymore.

I feel like we control technology, for now.  I use technology everyday but not too much.  I do believe that the younger generation relies very much on technology.  Smartphones, for example, when I was two or three years old, I'm sure I was eating dirt or bugs, trying to figure things out.  Two or three year olds now can unlock an Iphone, download apps, and navigate an Iphone rather well.  Even online gaming, to me, is technology.  You can sit at your house and play a game with people that live across town, a different state, and even a different country. 

I'm a big movie person, I watch movies all the time, and I've seen my fair share of "technology gone bad" movies.  I feel that if we really solely on technology: computers, smartphones, google glasses, this new mcgyver talking watch thing?, and all of the sudden, all those quit working, I feel some people would have a meltdown.  We, as a nation, rely on technology quite often.  I hope that we don't take it too far and end up causing a nationwide black-out and have to start all over, without technology.
