Technology has helped many people lead successful lives - people who might otherwise have been subjected to a lower quality of life. Newer technologies have even begun to assist people who do not have specific challenges. Some might argue that this is causing a tremendous dependency on the technology, to the point where people resist learning traditional skills - seeing them as unnecessary.How much technology is too much? At what poing does technology cease to be assistive and instead become enabling? How can we use technology for it's tremendous benefits, yet maintain traditional skills. Or should we be more prepared to move past traditional skills in reading and writing and look to technology to do more of the basic tasks for us?


I think we need to find a balance within our selves. We need to find the medium instead of arguing about it because this will be an argument that will never end. I think knowing traditional skills and technology skills will make not just me but everyone more well rounded employers. I can personally say that Im probably not the most technology savy person but I am well aware that im going to have to know these skills for the future because technology isn’t slowing down any. For instance, I have always said that im more of an English person when it came to subjects in school but I find my self now taking business administration. Which I’m going to be taking a variety of courses in things that I have long sense avoided because its nessesary for my future.
