If you were offered a million dollars, would you go a month
without technology?
This means you have to step down, and avoid all forms of
technology. Basically you can’t watch television, listen to CD’s, or play angry
birds. Any piece of technology like, Light, iPods, or computers you have to
avoid. You have to go a month cooking on a gas stove, or over a campfire,
reading by sunlight, or candle light, and any other things that don’t require a
modern form of technology.
This is a good chance to learn how are lives can be changed
in a single moment. Today’s generation relies heavily on technology, if it’s
their touch screen phones, or their computers. Yet if suddenly all technology
stopped working, would we as a people be alright? Many movies today have this
as a scenario, where the modern world is forced back into the dark ages. If
that actually happened what would we do, how would we re-learn to survive?
Technology has made us weak, it has enabled is to the point
where we grow weaker, and technology grows stronger. We make these things to
help us, but it is a waste of time and material, and is doing just as much harm
than good. The generations are slipping, and are becoming less educated in the
process of it all. Kids don’t even need to know how to spell anymore thanks to
spell check. Also they don’t need to learn cursive or special types of writing
styles, because of typing.
I love technology just as much as the next person, I grew up
with it, and it is still growing today, but I just worry about the future of
those after my generation. The older generation would try this challenge,
because they were raised in that way. I’m told stories about their lives when
they could not afford a colored television, and played all day outside. Yet I guarantee
that any young kid living with all the technology in the world would say no to
even the thought of this challenge even for a million dollars. The rest is just
a mystery…
