Journal 3 (Late Post)

I think this asks a question that is very prominent in today's era of developing technology. Much like in "Generation Why," with the question of simplifying ourselves to fit technology, this quote implies a transition from strong innovators and thinkers to people that are lazy and reliant on technology. This building reliance could create an interesting contradiction. If today's technology is the outcome of great innovation, but influences a lack of innovation, what does the future of technology look like? Will we have to snap ourselves out of this or will we turn the upwards trend of development into a plateau? Will we get to a point where we have so reduced and simplified ourselves that the emotionless technology becomes the strong thinker in comparison to these people influenced by these new beliefs?
