Appreciate Technology 11/18/2009
The video of the week is a particularly interesting interview on the Conan O'Brien Show. Conan is interveiwing Louis CK a comedian when he starts to talk about how everyone does not appreciate the technology we have. This video somewhat humbled me because I am definetely that guy that gets upset or frustrated when something takes longer than expected. We are in the "I want it now" era in which we depend on technology to be the fastest and slow down or take away any frustrations. I do not necessarily perceive this to be a bad thing like they are saying in the interview. Many innovations are being crafted or have been crafted by the "I want it now" group. Where would you be if you did not have your cell phone with all the applications that allow you access to an unlimited wealth of knowledge at all times. This group has changed how people are living and also how companies operate on a day to day basis. As technology expands and we are getting more accustomed to it I believe we shoud learn as much as we can before we are passed by it. On that same note sometimes we have to stop to smell the roses. We have to appreciate the technology we have in our time and embrace it and look to it to help mold our society into the tomorrow we are all moving towards. Overall I think this video is quite funny and somewhat true but they speak in a negative connotation when it should be a positive outlook of where our world is headed. Add Comment |
