Technology: Speeding up the World

Technology has become necessary to life in today's society. The other day I wanted to order food from dominoes. I was just going to call in and order but my boyfriend wanted to see the menu. I explained that we didn't have a menu handy and he would just have to deal. He than got on his phone and ordered pizza without even making a phone call! He simply used a new technology that I had never heard of called mobile ordering, he texted in his order. I simply could not believe it, everyday there is something new that can be done via email, phone, or text. Technology is beginning to rule the world, making things easier and quicker but also desensitizing the human population.

I look back to when I was a kid and I didn't even have a computer until I has 6 or 7 years old. Today children that age have cellphones, sometimes nicer ones than I do. Today they have DVD's and BluRay when I had VHS and before me there was nothing. Children today play with the WII and XBOX when I was struggling to get my Sonic to work on the Sega. Times are constantly changing and technology is advancing in leaps and bounds.

All these advancements have made everyone operate quicker. Business especially has sped up. It no longer takes snail mail to deliver messages but email and cellphones. Money can be transferred at the drop and the hat and that means that the global economy has also sped up. Everything moves so quickly and changes occur so rapidly throughout the world. None of this would be possible without all the advancements being constantly made in the technological world.
