Technology

As we (humans) have grown in knowledge and skill, we have progressed in how we think, interact and ultimately exist. As we continue to do so, we will see tremendous efforts blossom. Understanding technology, there are numerous pros and cons that follow. One great thing about technology, as there were countries that could not "compete" on a global scale with various countries who had the ability, technology has stepped in and created a level playing field. Even more, while bridging economic gaps, it has also allowed others to conduct business on a global scale. As with anything, though, there are cons that have the potential to surface. What I'm finding with technology is that crime has risen. With a wealth of information at your fingertips, it is easy for one to commit crimes and abuse the systems set in place to protect or create opportunities. Overall, my general thoughts on technology is that it has evolved tremendously; there is no signs of slowing down. I enjoy seeing the progress we have made and openly embrace new technological advances that assist me in daily living. On the flipside, though, I do believe that as we are moving at a steady, brisk pace, we should be cogniscente of what lies ahead (in terms of crime and security.)
