Technology

In my opinion, I don’t think all technology is good.  We have grown used to texting and viewing Facebook all on our cell phones.  We can search anything within seconds and use a GPS to give us step-by-step directions.  The advancement of technology has made America lazier and fatter. We can do anything from sitting in our house.  I believe one day, technology will be too great for one country that a war will break out, either among the citizens or other countries. Technology has hindered us because we have lost the human connection we used to have.  Wall-E is a good example of this.  Everyone is lazy sitting in his or her portable chair and everyone is fat.  People talk/ make calls through a screen in front of them.  The Disney movie was made to convey a meaning about what could happen.  Every month a new device or version is brought on the market.  When the iPhone came out, four months later a new faster version came out.  America is focusing on technology that we are losing what our country was based on.  

Celebrating Death?

            I do not like the concept of celebrating death.  Killing bin Laden doesn’t bring back the lives of those that were lost.  Even though I do not agree with celebrating, I do not judge those who do.  I believe we should be celebrating our military, their safety and celebrating America.  I did not agree with the terrorists when they celebrated killing American soldiers.  I feel we should not bring ourselves down to their level. 

            I was not rejoicing because of the death.  I was happier that a chapter was coming to a close.  America has awhile to go still but the death was the start of something good.  I was more rejoicing that American soldiers weren’t hurt in the mission. 

            For President Obama’s Administration, pressure is on him and Congress to see what their next move is.  Whether it is the start of moving soldiers out or watching for what al Qaeda could do next. 

            I feel we did what we had to do as a country.  I firmly believe in protecting our country first then other countries.  I believe we are focusing our attention on others instead of America.  With the death of bin Laden, the government’s next plan should start bringing our soldiers home.  I feel we have been over there longer than needed.
