I still remember what my Tech. Ed. Teacher in 7th grade told my class on the first day of school: "Technology is any human invention that makes any aspect of life easier." I agree.
I could go on about how the more everyday inventions help human out (i.e. cars, lights, modernized medicine), but that is boring and unneeded. One of the most significant yet unappreciated way technology (in specific, modernized entertainment industries) has affected me is by exposing me to culturally enriching means by which I define myself as a member of society. We live in a society nowadays where we are enveloped with this extravagant patchwork that all rooted from a magnificent mind. We attempt to define ourselves around the things we enjoy, we relate with, and all of the mass media outlets from the internet to the big screen. We enjoy watching things, and becoming sort of an egg basket for the minds that cook up what we wish to watch. For me, knowing that our current culture is shaped around the imagination and creativity of a small group of minds is truly a cool thing.
