Reflection of My HeartBreak Map

This Is My Heartbreak Map ^

I love to use technology. As a child my parents limited my technology use, but once I began to use technology more often and as new inventions (like the iPhone) came out I new that I wanted to work with technology in the future. There are many different forms of technology. Medical, Military, Informational and recreational are the most common forms of technology used today. Heart breaking to me would be the ways that it is misused.

Medical technology is not necessarily misused... yet it is not as proficient in saving lives as most people would be satisfied with.

 Military is kind of obvious. Technology should not be used to kill. So much of  U.S. money is put into creating the deadliest machines. The more they kill the better. Technology is beautiful, yet when in the hands of selfish, tyrannical, power hungry people it is misused.

Informational technology can be put to good use yet there there are ways in which that can also be misused. Thousands of hackers and greedy people are out there trying to steal from people. I got this statement of statistics from victimsofcrime.org:
  • 6.6 million people are stalked in one year in the United States.
  • 1 in 6 women and 1 in 19 men have experienced stalking
    victimization at some point during their lifetime in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed. 
Recreational technology is also misused. Technology should only be used in moderation, it can be as addicting as any drug. Some children just like to spend hours on the computer at a time wasting their whole day.

So I would like to see a change in the way technology is used. Using it for the positive instead of for selfish unclean reasons with a view of moderation in mind.

  3. I found your blog to be very informational with good facts, yet not too saturated that your voice is lost. Moderation is a key word for many facets of life. Thanks for sharing :)
