In my reading so far of the book Culture Jam I have become shockingly surprised that what I'm reading truly sounds like humans today. Is it because we have become so technically advance that instead of looking at what nature has to offer we look instead to what's advanced technologically? Are we slowly becoming dependent on the technology. Every day in hospitals it is used to save lives, but is it truly worth losing ourselves? I think not, I think if we take our natural world for granted it won't belong until we forget it all together. If we continue to let ourselves go and become one with technology instead of the environment, we slowly lose touch of who we truly are. So before it's too later we should realize that if it weren't for the sun there would not be life and if it weren't for the trees and plants around us there would be no fresh air to breather. And that turning your mind to counting the stars at night, or asking ourselves questions about the world around us we would see a change in the way we respond to violence in the media. Also realizing that the human race survived thousands of years without electricity, or technology. So why can't we now remember where we were. We should never ever forget our past because it sculpts and creates our future.
I agree with you that the more we bond with technology, the more we lose our sense of who we are. I also like the point about our past sculpting our future. So many people want to change their past but they do not realize that changing the past changes who a person is. I like the points you made in this.
ReplyDeleteI like your point how technology is becoming a dependence. I believe it is and the more we depend on it the more we forget about nature and the earth. I really like the view you take on technology.
ReplyDeleteI love your post. I totally agree with you in the sense that instead of looking at nature we have now turned our backs to it. Instead of looking at what all nature has to offer us we instead look to technology trying to find the newest thing. I like how you mentioned that the past has sculpted our future. If our ancestors were able to function without all these new advancements in technology then why can't we?
ReplyDeleteI think the thing is...we recognize that we are dependent on technology...but we aren't doing much to halt this dependence. In fact, we seem to crave more. I wonder if we realize what this dependence is really doing to us?
