I just realized that I never provided an example from my own life to strengthen my argument that technology is beneficial to my generation. I am currently employed at the UNH survey center. This means that I get paid to dial numbers and attempt to interview people randomly. If it wasn't for technology my job wouldn't even exist. I know this is a simple example but technology is involved in many occupations today and I can't see this fact changing as we advance. I believe that as time goes on we will see more jobs that involve technology. It is essential for future generations to have these skills in order to have a range of job opportunities. I do not believe that technology makes us dumber but is continuously changing the way in which we get things accomplished.
Edit: It dawned on me that this does not technically explain how my job uses technology. While I interview individuals over the phone I am running through a series of screens on a computer which tell me exactly how to word the questions I ask. I also code the answers each individual gives on these screens. Without the computer it would be much more difficult for me to complete this job because the computer provides so much space to store numbers, interviews, and coded dispositions which allow each interviewer to know what occurred during past calls.
