     All things considered, the evolution of technology has benefited my life and has given the same opportunity to everyone else; however, I acknowledge the controversy that envelops it. The reason for such divided opinions is really about application more than function.  Technology has great potential for good in all people's lives but it all boils down to how you use what you have been provided.
     Think of it like this; imagine that you inherited a library full of all known information. You have so many options to find and discover new and useful things, yet you spend most of it looking at all of man's collected images of cats that look like celebrities. Should we blame the library for your lost time? No and neither should we blame technology, which is in essence what I just described but in digital form.
     I do also sympathize with those who claim that technology has led to a more sedentary society. But, I once again would like to say that it is not technology who is to blame. Does technology stop you from getting fit and swoll? No. Does it force you to sit on the couch and not go enjoy nature? Didn't think so. Does it forcibly hold you down and make sure you never see the light of day? Absolutely not.
      Technology offers you two options, own it or let it own you. There is so much you can do with technology, so much information you can access. Technology makes your life easier allowing you to focus on what really matters, so let it do its job. Technology is fantastic as long as you remember that the tech-world isn't what's important. All of this points to technology being fine and leads to a conclusion that we already knew about ourselves; we have a natural inclination to be lazy and to suck in general. So let's stop blaming technology for societies problems but instead focus on ourselves, the ones in control.
